Drive-By Truckers Genius Lyrics:

• The hippies rode a wave putting smiles on faces, that the devil wouldn’t even put a shoe
  Caught between a generation dying from its habits, and another thinking rock and roll was new
  Till the pawn shops were packed like a backstage party, hanging full of pointy ugly cheap guitars
  And the young’uns all turned to karaoke, hanging all their wishes upon disregarded stars

 

• Reverend Bob is pointin’ his finger Mom and Dad follow every last word
  All this hollerin’ makes me wonder does a whispered prayer get heard?
  Reverend Bob is preachin’ out thunder fire and brimstone pouring down
  Me, I’m wondering what’s for dinner waitin’ for 12 o’clock to come round
  Everybody’s got their own Heaven They all find it their own way
  I am an angel

 

• Those little demons ain’t the reasons for the bruises on your soul you’ve been neglecting
  You’ll never lose your mind as long as your heart always reminds you where you left it
  And don’t ever let them make you feel like saying what you want is unbecoming
  If you were supposed to watch your mouth all the time I doubt your eyes would be above it

 

• It’s all about where you put the horizon said the Great John Ford to the young man rising
  You got to frame it just right and have some luck of course and it helps to have a tall man sitting on the horse
  Tell them just enough to still leave them some mystery a grasp of the ironic nature of history
  A man turns his back on the comforts of home the Monument Valley to ride off alone

 

• Stop that dope smokin! stop that masturbation!
  Take the Lord into your heart and stop that fornication.
  We’re building us an army, gonna knock out Satan.
  Visa or Mastercard, our operator’s waiting.
  Too much sex, too little Jesus.”
