Oh I pray for change for something new in my life
But when it comes its not as I imagined, I'll curse and curse the skies
I beg for forgiveness with the taste of whisky still on my Tongue
And that last puff of pipe tobacco still filling my lungs
I pray for hope and strength I’ll never apply when the time arises
I'll demand to see the light though when I do I'll shield my eyes claiming its too bright
Oh I wanna believe lord I wanna believe with just the right amount of conviction that I don't have to practice what I preach
So I can pick apart everyone and reveal their smallest of flaws
Then turn the other way when I myself become guilty of them all
I want to fund the hungry of Africa but I spent my last dollar on this diamond crested watch
And I want to provide aid to those in haiti but it requires vaccination and I just can't stand shots
Oh I’m proud of freedom and this glorious promise land
Proud to be such a religious, caring, American
