The Believer - Chris Thile

You can point and laugh

I’m sure he’s used to that

Using faith like an acrobat 'til the net breaks

He won’t get upset

Though we’ve never met

I know everything he’s said

'Cause a friend once told me

He’s got hellfire in his eyes

There is madness behind the lies

He would burn us all alive just to prove his point

God save the believer

We mistake for deceiver

'Cause it makes us feel better

The time has come and gone

To say what’s right and wrong

People like him they don’t belong 'cause we’re all okay

You’d better write him off

Without a second thought

'Cause thinking just leads to getting caught in the traps he sets, like

Who is that on his knees?

It’s a daring young man from the flying trapeze

Crying «Father, Father, help me please»

Well good luck pal, cause you’re gonna need it

God save the believer

We mistake for deceiver

'Cause it makes us feel better

He’s got hellfire in his eyes

There is madness behind the lies

He would burn us all alive just to prove his point

God save the believer

We mistake for deceiver

'Cause it makes us feel better
