Roadside Heretics

The Awakening

oh holly was a roadside heretic

felt the weight of the circus town

all the fakers seemed to do was make her sick

now holly's got a shotgun frown

and underneath her smile's a bitterness

and a need to secure her faith

'cause all the self-belief is just emptiness

if she can never dominate

the question is not how far to push it

when you're forced out of control

we all could use some understanding

before we feel the whip come down

oh billy's got his trite philosophy

tucked away inside his chest

'cause daddy's into cars and pornography

oh and daddy always knows what's best

now underneath the tears of this bitterness

is a need to secure a faith

'cause all the books have left is an emptiness

and a growing sense of hate

the question is not...

roadside heretics

we're all roadside heretics
