Todd Snider - Mission Accomplished (Because You Gotta Have Faith) lyrics

Snider Will Rogers said he never met a man he didn't like Wait, let me back up and make sure I got that right He might have liked every man he ever met, that's true But he never said he liked every man that he knew I met a woman with a Midas touch I could never get her to touch very much I met a man of opportunity He never offered any of it up to me I met a soldier in a recruit booth Said he'd make a man out of me and stole my youth Working for a man who could not stop lying Drove us all off a cliff and called it flying That ain't flying Most men flying seem to understand That a man hasn't technically flown 'til he lands If you're coming in to land and you crash and die All you really did for sure was get too high You ever get too high ? No, neither have I But I will, if I have to, to prove to you guys I'm so turned around I could calm up a riot Fighting for peace, that's like screaming for quiet I don't know but I've been told Might meet a little fox in an atheist hole I don't know what I've been told (I don't know what I've been told) I don't know what I've been told (I don't know what I've been told) I don't know what I've been told (I don't know what I've been told) I don't know for sure, I've just been told (I don't know what I've been told)
