Derek Webb - What Matters More lyrics
[Derek Webb - What Matters More lyrics]
You say always treat people like
You’d like to be i guess you love being
Hated for your sexuality
You love when people put words in your mouth
About what you believe
Make you sound like a freak
Because if you really believed what
You say you believe
You wouldn’t be so damned reckless
With the words you speak
You wouldn’t silently consent when
The liars speak
Denying all the dying of the remedy
Tell me, brother what matters more to you
Tell me, sister what matters more to you
If I can see what’s in your heart
By what comes out of your mouth
Then it sure looks to me like
Being straight is all it’s about
It looks like being hated for
All the wrong things
Like chasing the wind while
The pendulum swings
Because we can talk and debate until
We’re blue in the face
About the language and tradition that
He’s coming to save
And meanwhile we sit just like we
Don’t have give a shit
About fifty thousand people who
Are dying today
You’d like to be i guess you love being
Hated for your sexuality
You love when people put words in your mouth
About what you believe
Make you sound like a freak
Because if you really believed what
You say you believe
You wouldn’t be so damned reckless
With the words you speak
You wouldn’t silently consent when
The liars speak
Denying all the dying of the remedy
Tell me, brother what matters more to you
Tell me, sister what matters more to you
If I can see what’s in your heart
By what comes out of your mouth
Then it sure looks to me like
Being straight is all it’s about
It looks like being hated for
All the wrong things
Like chasing the wind while
The pendulum swings
Because we can talk and debate until
We’re blue in the face
About the language and tradition that
He’s coming to save
And meanwhile we sit just like we
Don’t have give a shit
About fifty thousand people who
Are dying today
