[Verse 1]
There you are, hogging the front page
Drawing blanks when thinking of sin's wage
If everyone is falling short
Some humbleness is overdue
If I wish your face got stabbed
Will I be just as bent as you?

[Chorus]
There's a chip that's on my shoulder
Sucking us into quicksand
The temperature is getting colder
A backwards ticking second hand

[Verse 2]
There you go bullying again
Stealing the spotlight from better men
If God is love, you've got it wrong
Waving all your placards and flags
The very fact that you're alive
Says God must also love douchebags

[Chorus]
There's a chip that's on my shoulder
Sucking us into quicksand
The temperature is getting colder
A backwards ticking second hand
[Bridge]
And the only saving grace
We only ever need speak of
If ever there's a question
The answer is to love
The answer is to love

[Chorus]
There's a chip that's on my shoulder
Sucking us into quicksand
The temperature is getting colder
A backwards ticking second hand

[Chorus]
There's a chip that's on my shoulder
Sucking us into quicksand
The temperature is getting colder
A backwards ticking second hand
