Jack

Michael Channing

jack is a lonely boy
never had much luck
his father ran away and almost everyday
his mother brings home a new fuck

jack says i'm losing faith
in home mom and apple pie
jack says i'm losing faith
in peace and love so all of you die

jack stands with fisted hands
alone before the pulpit
he has no urge to pray 'cause every sunday
the preacher gives him the same old shit

jack says i'm losing faith
in jesus christ peter and paul
jack says i'm losing faith
in god and country so fuck you all

jack thinks to himself at night
when the darkness is all there is
one day, one day soon
i will rise, rise
and i will show you all
i will show you all

Jack

I'm Losing Faith
