Preaching to the Choir

The teaching was tongue-in-cheek
Just like the politician’s speech
The presentation’s pretty
But the application’s weak

Thoughts don’t count for much
The standard remains love
Talk is always lofty
But living it proves tough

Don’t mind me
’Cause I’m preaching to the choir
While I sing amen to the pews
Can’t buy peace
You can’t fake surrender
And it’s hard to wrestle the truth
Wrestle the truth

Faith sans deed is death
Just like the graveyards in your head
In the face of contradiction
The silent vote is left

Don’t mind me
’Cause I’m preaching to the choir
While I sing amen to the pews
Can’t buy peace
You can’t fake surrender
And it’s hard to wrestle the truth
Wrestle the truth

Oh wrestle the truth
Yeah wrestle the truth

Don’t mind me
’Cause I’m preaching to the choir
While I sing amen to the pews
Can’t buy peace
You can’t fake surrender
And it’s hard to wrestle the truth
Wrestle the truth

Yeah wrestle the truth

Don’t mind me
’Cause I’m preaching to the choir
While I sing amen to the pews
Can’t buy peace
You can’t fake surrender
And it’s hard to wrestle the truth
Wrestle the truth
