I think a big mistake everybody makes
is they always think
there's going to be a tomorrow.
Everybody always thinks,
you know, things are bad today.
If just live long enough,
everything will be fine.
An d sometimes that's
true.
Sometimes things get worse.
I mean, like, you know,
look at the history of the world.
Things have not, in fact, got better.
Turn it back. It's looking pretty grim.
A lot of people just want to wring their hands,
you know, and say, Oh,
what are we going to do?
You know, everything's
getting so bad.
People are so lonely.
People are doing desperate things.
You know, ra cism is a big deal still.
You know, and now there's terrorism.
You know, you add terrorism to racism,
you got real problems.
You got people wanting
to kill each other
in Asia and in America and everywhere. and everybody says,
you know, what can I do?
You know, people get really depressed,
you know, because they think there's
nothing they can do about it.
Maybe there's nothing you can do
about the people
in Afghanistan.
I don't know. Maybe there's nothing you can do
about the situation in Poland.
But the real tragedy
is that most people don't
do anything
about the situation that they've got just
in their immediate proximity.
I think it all comes back to a lack of faith.
I think we want a chief God.
I think we want a God
who is easy to follow,
who is easy to believe in,
and easy to set aside
whenever we're ready to do that.
And then when we have to live with the res
ults of that kind of faith,
we don't like him so much.
Because if you don't be
lieve he's really there,
then you can't believe
he can really change things.
You think you know so well
about how the world could be fixed
It's just your own life's problems
that you can't handle
And no one can hear you cryin'
No one can see your pain
You keep it all inside

Preach it in the name of Je sus
Just show a selfless interest
in the garb of spiritual talk
Giving your clientele prestigious
No one can see you're shaking
You're too proud to let it out
Like God would oversee you
