pray for a new age
pray for information
i can hope, see?
even if i don’t believe

pray for a new state
pray for communication
i can hope, see?
even if i don’t believe

and i believe
i think…
i don’t know

history will show
our progress is slow
when we win, we win in inches
the future deaf, so the few left will need a fist
when no one is listening

know where we stand
know we pay the man
it’s my flag

know i’m not kneeling
know what i’m feeling
my god above
or total lack of

but i lack
i think…
i don’t know

my faith is barren, i don’t believe the prayer
it’s not a sin and it’s not opinion
know i’m a man
know where i stand
in an affront to god and country

so pray for a new state
pray for assassination
i can hope, see?
even if i don’t believe

and i believe
i think…
