Chris Thile - The Believer lyrics

You can point and laugh I'm sure he's used to that Using faith like an acrobat 'til the net breaks He won't get upset Though we've never met I know everything he's said 'Cause a friend once told me He's got hellfire in his eyes There is madness behind the lies He would burn us all alive just to prove his point God save the believer We mistake for deceiver 'Cause it makes us feel better The time has come and gone To say what's right and wrong People like him they don't belong 'cause we're all okay You'd better write him off Without a second thought 'Cause thinking just leads to getting caught in the traps he sets, like Who is that on his knees? It's a daring young man from the flying trapeze Crying "Father, Father, help me please" Well good luck pal, cause you're gonna need it God save the believer We mistake for deceiver 'Cause it makes us feel better He's got hellfire in his eyes There is madness behind the lies He would burn us all alive just to prove his point God save the believer We mistake for deceiver 'Cause it makes us feel better
