If you wanna be like jesus let the world tear you to pieces
you can walk on water if you wait until it freezes
You don’t have to fight if someone’s treating you cruel
But if you let them hurt you well it isn’t a virtue
(come on) True, blue, Everybody’s fool
Always trying to play by the rules
Nobody owes you anything
And everyone you know will forget your name
Sitting on the fence without any defense
Chaffing at the wires of your own suspense
They’ll tear you down if you don’t make up your mind
You can’t hold out forever so you’ll have to pick a side
True, blue, Everybody’s fool
Always trying to play by the rules
Nobody owes you anything
They’ll run you over if you don’t get out of the way
You say your hearts so tame
But you’re not the one to blame
It’s just a matter with the way you raised
You say ya wanna change
But you feel like you’re chained
But it’s just a symptom
Of a sickness of shame
True, blue, Everybody’s fool
Always trying to play by the rules
Nobody owes you anything
They’ll cut you’re throat if you ain’t playing the game
If you wanna be like jesus let the world tear you to pieces
you can walk on water if you wait until it freezes
You don’t have to fight if someone’s treating you cruel
But if you let them hurt you well it isn’t a virtue
(come on) True, blue, Everybody’s fool
Always trying to play by the rules
Nobody owes you anything
And everyone you know will forget your name
