Bad Religion - Spirit Shine lyrics

Shed a tear for the criminal, give him something to believe Light a fire for the miserable, give the darkness some meaning Closed wounds harbor pestilence, when you lick them from within Charity has a redolence chastity cannot rescind Spirit shine, it's a sign Of a troubled mind (tortured mind) Spirit shine all the time Can render you blind You can take it all to heart or throw it all away You can call it just a lark or live your life that way You can give until you're dry and s**ed of all your gleam You can fake another cry and compromise your dream Cling tight to the parable - let it dominate your life Create a God who's infallible - give your leader some respite Clouds wounds harbor pestilence - when you lick them from within Rosy smiles lose their radience - when you take it on the chin
