Say it like you mean it
If you don't mean it, it don't mean nothing at all

We've been strugglers
Blackhearts brothers
Sunday's mothers never could tell us apart

Now I know what you say:
It's a mean old world
I've seen it, it all seems like a game
I want a new, new river every time I look down
Oh, a spirit to move me, babe

Desire
Like a wire
Lead the choir
Tripping on that Orange County wine

Morning sinner
Meet your maker
Revelator
You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine

Now I know what you say:
It's a mean old world
I've seen it, it all seems like a game
I want a new, new river every time I look down
Oh, a spirit to move me, babe
Say it like you mean it
If you don't mean it, it don't mean nothing at all
