Greatness

by @TheRavensWrittingDesk

All our lives they've been telling us What's right What's wrong Stuck, in our heads like a song They tell us to have faith To shut up and just believe But what the f--k is faith And who the f--k are they They try Pushing us down unlit paths Then punishing those who stray But the great ones Are those who challenge them And walk another way They tell us to have faith To shut up and just believe But why ask us for our faith When they're lying through their teeth Greatness is to walk away When the demons in priests' clothing Are begging us to stay
