Magellan - Preaching The Converted lyrics

[verse 1]

I hear you laughing loudly

But I'm not laughing with you

Well you may be joking first

But I'll be the one who has the last laugh

[verse 2]

You call yourself "progressive"

I say it's all regressive

You think you can stand in judgment

so listen here and I'll remind you

["chorus"]

Preaching the converted 'cause it's all you know

Music's dead because it's all about the money now

And you don't even know who you are anymore

"Put it out somehow" -

and the business man laughs all the way to the bank

and he's counting fast and he's laughing

hard.laughing loud

[2nd time only]

and he's counting fast and he's laughing

hard.laughing loud

and you don't even know who owns you anymore

"put it out somehow" - "put it out somehow"

and the business man laughs all the way to the bank

and he's counting fast and he's laughing

hard.laughing loud

and he's counting fast and he's laughing

hard.laughing loud

Can you take it?

[cadence]

In our test of wills you got us for a song

Music's dead you sold us out for much too long

preaching the converted......

[verse 3]

I've given you all I have

but you say I must find more

"I've got to dig deeper-I've got to see

all the way within my soul"

[verse 4]

You may call it inspiration

but I'd call it desperation

We're wasting our moments for now

reliving the past - again and again

[repeat with "full chorus"]

[bridge - ABA?]

A game of tin soldiers is all that we're playing here

but nobody wins

Well it doesn't mean anything

'cause it isn't all your saying now

But I hope I'm invited for the ride

just in case we end our test of wills

Yes I've seen much stranger things in my

days......

[cadenza]

Preaching still...........

Preaching the converted in our test of

wills................
