Take a vow

Late last night

I think I was confused

About the way things are

The way that we’ve all been used

And I was thinking’

About how to put it right

I swear ta God

I was up half the night

And in the darkest hour

Since my birth

I can’t answer the question

Of what I’m worth

Maybe it’s too late to ask the questions

I need at least ten more years

Give or take

If I’m only half awake

And most of what I am is  fake

Please excuse me if I cop a plea

When I read between the lines

And see what isn’t there

I grip my bible tighter

And I hold it in the air

I try to add a paragraph

That indicates I care

And I hope you’ll hold my hand a little longer

I swear if I had any sense   

I’d get out from under the bus

Instead of looking for meaning

In this dark philosophical fuss

[Chorus]

And I’d take a vow

To just treat other people with love

Mind my own business

And treat other people with love
