How many time do I have to lie 



Before you believe me? 



And how many time do you have to beat me 



Before I learn how to play? 



And where are the authorities 



When you need somebody blown away 



And how many arrows do I have to suffer 



Before I'm a martyr? 



Is it true that you have to do good 



Before people will 



Pay for a look at your bones? 



You've got to be kidding me 



Does this mean that I'll never be a saint? 



 



With my pockets full of platitudes 



And my dusty crown of thorns 



Yeah it's used but barely worn 



And I have crawled broke and desperate 



Through the dumpsters of the Lord 



 



And once I was an ugly sea 



I wrestled in my sleep 



And hurled foul threats and curses 



At the sky 



I pounded on the stubborn shore 



Cause it can never be a symphony 



If nobody cries 



 



And how many bodies and how many boxes 



Before it's all over? 



And how many time do I have to cry 



Before they wash me away? 



Head I do: It's a comedy 



Tails I don't: And I see another day 



 



With my pockets full of platitudes 



And my dusty crown of thorns 



Yeah it's used but barely worn 



And I have crawled broke and desperate 



Through the dumpsters of the Lord 



 



Once I was a rusted ship 



Forsaken on the rocks 



A tangle of green ligament and bone 



I wrangled with the sullen sea 



For it can never be a tragedy 



If nobody dies
