Affliction
Pennywise · Reason to Believe [2008]
Take a listen to what I say
I got the truth and i'll help you find your way
It's time to take what you know is already yours
Its your life, its your right
You wake up every morning felling numb until you die
take a chance and walk right through that unopened door
The affliction that's the
Curse of the modern man
If you believe then you can't be wrong
Reject all the opposing opinions - and carry on
The affliction that's the curse of the modern man
With blind faith you're never wrong
Reject all opposing opinions you can't go wrong
So make your pledges and place your blame
we got opinions and you hear them everyday
we got te facts to back them up you just can't ignore
you gotta fight for whats right
no matter if the churches can be seen in black or white
but you think that gonna stop em marching to war
The affliction that's the
Curse of the modern man
If you believe then you can't be wrong
Reject all the opposing opinions - and carry on
The affliction that's the curse of the modern man
With blind faith you're never wrong
Reject all opposing opinions you can't go wrong
The affliction that's the
Curse of the modern man
If you believe then you can't be wrong
Reject all the opposing opinions - and carry on
The affliction that's the curse of the modern man
With blind faith you're never wrong
Reject all opposing opinions you can't go wrong
I got the truth and i'll help you find your way
