And then they came back deadlocked
Life, is nothin' but a dream, so peaceful and serene
Whatever should you fumble your rebuttal should be subtle
Perhaps another glance of the light at the end of the tunnel
What about repentance? What about committing the same sin
(Hall-le-lu-jah)
Talk to the coach or break out the huddle
But soon you'll have to sew those bad seeds
Big, slide into the mode, time to drop a load
Why are we here? Huh? Huh? Huh?
I can't move, I can't eat, I can't even breathe
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
What about you eating dinner in the devil's kitchen?
Well I receive what you want to believe
No trees, no P's to ease the stress of everyday livin'
Please tell me, what are we here for? Ow
Can't even buy a decent sack without the stems and the seeds
(Hall-le-lu-jah)
Sometimes life can keep you down, with your face all in the dirt
But what about repentance? What about committing the same sin
Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean?
Why are we here? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Please, any man can ask, to get a pass
Over and over again and again and again
Now if you feel that left behind, need to get up and go to church
What about repentance? What about the tension?
Unless you're bein' evil then you on the devil's team
Because he who lives in the upper room is never gullible
Why are we here? Why are we here? Why are we here?
Or a cleansing of sin to grant another chance
My life is goin' downhill like some cardboard in the snow
(Hall-le-lu-jah)
The question that I'm merely tryin' to pose is as simple as me sayin'
(Hall-le-lu-jah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
But homeless people gotta suck it up wherever they livin'
Please tell me, what are we here for? Ow
The unforgiven or the unwillin', live a life of sinnin'
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sometimes life can keep you down, with your face all in the dirt
My bank account is frozen, I don't think that I can get out this hole
But what about repentance? What about the tension?
Feel like the figure four leg lock, like the jury went away
Now if you feel that left behind, need to get up and go to church
What about you eating dinner in the devil's kitchen?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over and over again and again and again
As you survey the syllables and sentences
And expect to be as pure as an infant in the beginnin'
