Public Square - Rheostatics

Well, faith is something I don’t have

It does not bother me at all

But something that the faithful got

Is spirit in their song

Meeting on the public square

In churches they rejoice

About something I feel nothing for

And they’re not all that sure about the object of their song

Yet they keep singing

Someone told me that’s what faith is all about

Well, pardon me for judging people

On such vague and general grounds

But it seems to me, quite obviously

These people are pretty unbalanced folks

Well as I look around these days

The music I hear lacks in soul

A lesson to begin from the faithful lies within…

The spirit in their song
