I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way-ay-ay-ay Na-na, why don't you get a job? Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay Na-na, why don't you get a job?

I have my books And my poetry to protect me I am shielded in my armor Hiding in my room safe within my womb I touch no one and no one touches me I am a rock I am an island

We want our coffee in the lobby We watch our worship on a screen We got a Rockstar preacher Who won't wake us from our dreams We want out blessings in our pocket We keep our missions overseas But for the hurting in our cities Would we even cross the street?

And they said you were the crooked kind That you would never have no worth But you were always gold to me

Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west? 'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come risin' up in me again In the arms of Your mercy I find rest 'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other

Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down By the enemy Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing Bow down to the mighty But don't run, stop holding your tongue Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is

Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave

Burn out the day Burn out the night I can't see no reason to put up a fight I'm living for givin' the devil his due And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you

'Cause I'm a twenty-first century digital boy, I don't know how to live but I got a lot of toys, My daddy's a lazy middle-class intellectual, My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual, Ain't life a mystery, yeah?

We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed

And I have come to accept My past is more clay than stone And I can shape it into nicer forms Ones where you and I were better than we were
