The Lyrics in the coda are Revelations 3:15.

lyrics

And so it’s easy there’s nothing to it,
It’s easy enough to fake it if you don’t know how to do it,
It’s life with a scream in the whisper of love,
Hell beneath your dignity and heaven above,
Playing with the enemy and shooting down your friends,
Throwing up on the host when the party ends,
Life giver; death giver don’t give us any more,
We don’t even know what the fuck we’ve got it for.

The deep is deeper than that new paint job's glow,
To the sea where all these shallow rivers flow,
In a world where something glitters it must be gold,
If it can be bought it will be sold.

Fighting over which is healthier trash or shit,
Wondering which one could be the biggest hit,
Force feeding the people what they want,
Making a living out of missing the point,
If we live for the moment; the future is a blank,
Shake hands with each other ‘cause we only have ourselves to thank,
Just enough wonder to wonder why,
But not enough to do anymore than just lay down and die.

The deep is deeper than that new paint job's glow,
To the sea where all these shallow rivers flow,
In a world where something glitters it must be gold,
If it can be bought it will be sold.

We brag about our ignorance and take pride in confusion,
We strip off what is real and then market the illusion,
Every ten minutes or so we have a new hero,
But the numbers in this new math all add up to zero,
We don’t mind looking like idiots as long as we don’t get our hands dirty,
Don’t want to listen to words of wisdom if they’er too wordy,
We learn all we know from those who don’t know how to teach,
We keep dirt in our hands and gold within our reach.

“I know your deeds, that you are neither hot nor cold,
I would that you were cold or hot,
So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold,
I will spew you from my mouth,
Because you say “I am rich and have become wealthy
and have need of nothing”
And you do not know that you are wretched,
And miserable and poor and blind and naked.”
