Magellan Preaching The Converted Lyrics

Preaching The Converted Lyrics

[verse 1] 
I hear you laughing loudly 
But I`m not laughing with you 
Well you may be joking first 
But I`ll be the one who has the last laugh 

[verse 2] 
You call yourself "progressive" 
I say it`s all regressive 
You think you can stand in judgment 
so listen here and I`ll remind you 

["chorus"] 
Preaching the converted `cause it`s all you know 
Music`s dead because it`s all about the money now 
And you don`t even know who you are anymore 
"Put it out somehow" - 
and the business man laughs all the way to the bank 
and he`s counting fast and he`s laughing 
hard.laughing loud 

[2nd time only] 
and he`s counting fast and he`s laughing 
hard.laughing loud 
and you don`t even know who owns you anymore 
"put it out somehow" - "put it out somehow" 
and the business man laughs all the way to the bank 
and he`s counting fast and he`s laughing 
hard.laughing loud 
and he`s counting fast and he`s laughing 
hard.laughing loud 
Can you take it? 
[cadence] 
In our test of wills you got us for a song 
Music`s dead you sold us out for much too long 
preaching the converted...... 

[verse 3] 
I`ve given you all I have 
but you say I must find more 
"I`ve got to dig deeper-I`ve got to see 
all the way within my soul" 

[verse 4] 
You may call it inspiration 
but I`d call it desperation 
We`re wasting our moments for now 
reliving the past - again and again 

[repeat with "full chorus"] 
[bridge - ABA?] 
A game of tin soldiers is all that we`re playing here 
but nobody wins 
Well it doesn`t mean anything 
`cause it isn`t all your saying now 
But I hope I`m invited for the ride 
just in case we end our test of wills 
Yes I`ve seen much stranger things in my 
days...... 
[cadenza] 
Preaching still........... 
Preaching the converted in our test of 
wills................
