Song lyrics
Well all the apostles, they're sitting in swings 
Saying I'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings 
And some sandles with the style of straps 
that cling best to the era 

So all of the businessers in their unlimited Hell
Where they buy and they sell and they sell all their 
Trash to each other 'cause they're sick of it all 
And they're bankrupt on selling 

And all of the angels 
They'd sell off your soul for a set of new wings 
And anything gold 

They remember 
The people 
They loved their old friends 
And I've seen through'em all seen through'em all and seen
Through most eveything 

All the people you knew were the actors 
All the people you knew were the actors 

Well, I'll go to college and I'll learn some big words 
And I'll talk real loud 
Goddamn right I'll be heard 
You'll remember the guy who said all those big words
He must've learned in college

And it took a long time 
I came clean with myself 
I come clean out of love with my lover 
I still love her 
Loved her more when she used to be sober and I was kinder

This song is one of their best -- great music, and just the guitar alone is powerful, add it with the deep lyrics and the vocals and you have a masterpiece
