SPOONBOY LYRICS

"Do You Need A Messiah?"

do you need a messiah?
are you waiting to call upon a larger icon to rely on?
are you waiting for jesus?
are you waiting for mlk to rise from the grave and lead us?
don't you know how they needed us?

are we searching for guidance?
are we scared that the things we need
are things that we can't find inside us?
are they things that we hide from ourselves?

i'd like to believe that these sermons and preachers
amounted to more than a lot of hot breath,
but i will not be led any longer through the desert.
i'd like to think that the things we put faith in
amounted to more than just vague apparitions.
if we don't have faith in ourselves, then it begs the question,
of the concession of power. resignation to follow on.
these are the words that turn sour.
can we ask ourselves, do you we need a messiah?
will what we've waited for come along?
or should we get on our feet and walk?
