Holier Than Thou
(Smith / Nelson)
In the beginning
I took the lead
You can leave it up to me
You are forgiven
I’ll take the blame
You live in shame
Holier than thou
Locking the doors and avoiding creation
Falling apart at the seams
Spreading like fire and flowing like rivers
Nothing like I’ve ever seen
We’re stacking them deep and we’re stacking them high
There’s no other way we know now
We are holier than thou
Holier than thou
There is a time when we live for ever
The time is so special don’t let it slip away
You take the high road
I’ll take the blame
You live in chains
Holier than thou
