Chris Thile The Believer Lyrics

The Believer Lyrics

You can point and laugh 

I'm sure he's used to that 

Using faith like an acrobat 'til the net breaks 

He won't get upset 

That though we've never met 



I know everything he's said 'cause a friend once told me: 

He's got hellfire in his eyes 

There is madness behind the lies 

He would burn us all alive just to prove his point 



God save the believer we mistake for a deceiver 

 

'cause it makes us feel better. 



The time has come and gone 

To say what's right and wrong 

People like him don't belong 'cause we're all OK 

You'd better write him off 

without a second thought 

Thinking just leads to getting caught in the traps he sets, like: 



Who is that on his knees? 

It's that daring young man from the flying trapeze 

Crying "Father, Father, help me please" Well good luck, pal, you're gonna need
it
