ill be your waiter this evening
your wish is my command
you lie there like a duchess
with your finger in demand

in the house of the dyslexic
lemme tell you im a spy
deceptive and denying
but i never tell a lie

there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god go i

ooh my my

in the land of goodnplenty
the customer is king
hindsights always 2020
and it dont achieve a thing

im driving but the brakes are out
and the bridge is out atop
but it aint the fall that kills you
you know its the sudden stop

there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god go i

there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god
im not a crook - i cannot tell a lie

there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god go i

my oh my

been smokin like a chimney
i just cant put out this fire
garbage blockin all the exits
hey,are you callin me a liar?
im thru tiptoeing on eggshells
chained to the slave majority
what doesnt kill you makes you stronger
that must make me hercules

there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god go i

my oh my

i been turned out of places all over town
my smile is a frown turned upside down
there but for the grace of god go i

i sharpened this pencil with my teeth
and fuelled it with grief and disbelief
there but for the grace of god go i

stied eyes and heavy sighs
reluctant thighs and sad goodbyes
ther
