lyrics

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah ...

We've been waiting a long long time for some proof that you live your beliefs
Compassion or charity, a little love would give these troubled hearts some relief
We see confusion behind your eyes, and we wish we could ease your concern
You offered us more when we bought your lies, but that contract can never return
So you dole out condemnation: fear and threats as you try to control us
Still the same situation; five decades denying and prying and lying

So give us a stone
Yeah, go on, give us a stone
Don't offer us anything you might later have to disown
Just give us a stone

Something strange has been happening as we recognise your moral deceit
There's a new wind blowing faith and hope that finds an answering song in here
Nothing changes who we really are, we should never agree to hide away
Our riches and graces and wide-open spaces for a lie others want us to play
You can keep "straight and narrow"; it was always more narrow than straight
There's a wideness in mercy regulation can never negate or dictate or abate or deflate

When we get to the pearly gates and Saint Peter welcomes us in
There'll be a shining city just for us … built with your stones

You can keep "straight and narrow"; it was always more narrow than straight
There's a wideness in mercy regulation can never negate or dictate or abate or deflate
