New Gospel Lyrics

I could hear the T.V. playing
as I was coming up the stairs
loud enough the dead could hear
you've been watching all your
game shows
just trying to find a code
like there's some trick
that they don't want you to know

you've been stashing all your empties
in the neighbor's bins
like the landlord doesn't know
you're drinking
you've been sermonizing every day
just to keep your ghosts away
it's a wonder that you find
so much to say

oh
you need a new gospel
cause the bottom fell out
the old one long ago
