Something Else

They never tell you truth is subjective
They only tell you not to lie
They never tell you there’s strength in vulnerability
They only tell you not to cry

But I’ve been living underground
Sleeping on the way
And finding something else to say
Is like walking on the freeway

They never tell you you don’t need to be ashamed
They only tell you to deny
So is it true that only good girls go to heaven?
They only sell you what you buy

And I’ve been living underground
Sleeping on the way
And finding something else to say
Is like walking on the freeway

I thought for sure I had blogged about this song before. I know I used it in a ill-received sermon I gave once during my days of having opinions to share in such contexts.

I would point out a lyric or two, but they’re all just too good. One of my favorite songs of all time. I was happy to re-discover it tonight.
