Oh beautiful
for polluted skies
Oh beautiful America, in my eyes
It would take a blind man to see the beauty here
Oh beautiful America
The beaten people
working for too little
minimum wage just ain't enough to get by
so they join the army
get shipped off to war
maybe if they're lucky they'll come home alive
Oh beautiful
for polluted skies
Oh beautiful America, in my eyes
It would take a blind man to see the beauty here
Oh beautiful America
Homeless veterans
Substandard care
For the wounded and the traumatized
how does it happen
that soldiers get ignored
by the nation they gave of their lives for
Oh beautiful
for polluted skies
Oh beautiful America, in my eyes
It would take a blind man to see the beauty here
Oh beautiful America
Oh beautiful... oh beautiful...

You tell me to run like hell
The beating's comming soon
I tell you I'd rather go to hell
Than to put up with you
Tell me why I've got to bother
Tell me why I need to listen
Tell me what you've got to offer
Tell me why I ought to care
You tell me to pray like hell
The Lord is coming soon
I tell you if that were so
They're be nothing to fear
Tell me why I've got to bother
Tell me why I need to listen
Tell me what you've got to offer
Tell me why I ought to care
'Cause I'm gonna be who I wanna be!
Just who the hell do you think you are?
I'm gonna be who I wanna be!

All my life, I've heard you say
"Jesus is the only way"
I hear you cry, and I hear you moan
But I never see you live that way
Do you believe in Love?
Do you believe in Love?
Hypocrite (4x)
I heard that you're fighting some Jihad
Over in the Middle East
You say that God wanted you to strike
But we all know it's for oil
Do you believe in Love?
Do you believe in Love?
Hypocrite (8x)
(Guitar solo)
Do you believe in Love?
Do you believe in Love?
Hypocrite (8x)

Living life inside of a lie
Telling people I'm still alive
Thinking everything's okay
When things would never go my way
The truth would burrow deep inside
The little light of mine would shine
As I repressed the pain inside
To get along with everyone
The more I think, the more I should let go
Yesterday, I was on the news
Protesting Women's Right to Choose
I'm not even sure why I was there
The day before, I didn't care
Today I'm sitting in this church
Waiting for the memory verse
Maybe God will tell me how
To get more out of life somehow
The more I think, the more I should let go
(Spoken)
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
Forever and ever.
Amen.

Glenn is a tremendously talented songwriter who truly loves what he does. Plus, his songs are, like, really, really good. I wish I was half as good as Glenn. Seriously.

Fun songs for your inner child... if that inner child just happens to be a retro gamer who has a thing for Batman and Zombies...
