Carry out his will when convenient is the way

He was created in the image of yourself

Not realising he was your own

Proving your devotion for an hour every week
Dm G C G F
While stepping on the backs of all the other sheep
Am C C G F
Following the path of responsibility
Dm G C G F
While hiding from the kind that would truly set you free
Dm G C G F
You’re obviously scared of that kind of honesty
G Am C C G F
You want advice - don't look to me
Am C C G F
Defending an idea that's beginning to grow thin
Dm G C G F
From all of the directions everybody's looking in
Am C C G F
Easy comes the critic to the one who has so much
Dm G C G F
All the phony history you're using as a crutch

But there's one thing I’m forgetting and the saying goes as such
G Am C C G F
"Judge not others, lest you be judged"
