    What are you changing?
    Who do you think you’re changing?
    You can’t change things, we’re all stuck in our ways
    It’s like trying to clean the ocean
    What do you think you can drain it?
    Well it was poison and dry long before you came

    But you can wake up younger under the knife
    And you can wake up sounder if you get analyzed
    And I better wake up
    There but for the grace of God, go I

    It’s hard to believe your prophets
    When they’re asking you to change things
    But with their suspect lives we look the other way
    Are you really that pure, Sir?
    Thought I saw you in Vegas
    It was not pretty, but she was

    But she will wake up wealthy
    And you will wake up 45
    And she will wake up with babies
    There but for the grace of God, go I

    What am I fighting for?
    The cops are at the front door
    I can’t escape that way, the windows are in flames
    And what’s that on your ankle?
    You say they’re not coming for you
    But house arrest is really just the same

    Like when you wake up behind the bar
    Trying to remember where you are
    Having crushed all the pretty things
    There but for the grace of God, go I

    But I still believe
    And I will rise up with fists
    And I will take what’s mine mine mine
    There but for the grace of God, go I
    There but for the grace of God, go I
    There but for the grace of God, go I
    There but for the grace of God, go I
