Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Is there a problem?
The laugh of the rich man
Has got you crying poor
Are you as heavy
As hell in a handbag
Or just a virgin whore?
If the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
Then carry it for a day
Do you cry for peace
Or peace of mind;
Is reality in the way?
Verse 2:
Enter the martyr
Out through the in door
The saviour has arrived?
Is all your anger
Force of habit
And keeping you alive?
An empty shotgun
Shooting your mouth off
Something's on your mind
The cheap messiah
Of persecution
Is alive and doing fine
CHORUS
I won't leave if you stay
I don't buy what you say
If you're a new God let me see a miracle
I won't leave if you stay
I don't buy what you say
I can't say that you're a fool
But if you're a new God let me see a miracle
