You’ve been to all the professors
They’ve all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have discussed
Lepers and crooks
You’ve been through of all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books
You’re very well read, it’s well known
But something is happening here
And you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mr. Rove?
Well, theyll choose a man for you to meet tonight
Youll play the fool and learn how to walk through doors
How to enter into the gates of paradise
No, how to carry a burden too heavy to be yours
Yeah, from the stage theyll be tryin to get water outa rocks
A whore will pass the hat, collect a hundred grand and say thanks
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in
Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
Well, there aint no goin back
When your foot of pride come down
Aint no goin back
They got some beautiful people out there, man
They can be a terror to your mind and show you how to hold your tongue
They got mystery written all over their forehead
They kill babies in the crib and say only the good die young
They dont believe in mercy
Judgement on them is something that youll never see
They can exalt you up or bring you down main route
Turn you into anything that they want you to be
Well, there aint no goin back
When your foot of pride come down
Aint no goin back
Yes, I guess I loved him too
I can still see him in my mind climbin that hill
Did he make it to the top, well he probably did and dropped
Struck down by the strength of the will
Aint nothin left here partner, just the dust of a plague
that has left this whole town afraid
From now on, thisll be where youre from
Let the dead bury the dead. Your time will come
Let hot iron blow as he raised the shade
Well, there aint no goin back
When your foot of pride come down
Aint no goin back
