[Verse 1]

Let's burn it all down

Let's dance in the flames

Let's put out the fire

With our tears from the pain

Let's sift through the ash

And breathe in the smoke

And scream 'til we laugh 'til we cry

'Til our tears start to dry, 'til we choke

[Chorus]

Wipe your tears on my chest

Wipe my snot on your shirt

It's our God-given right

To be truly alive is to feel all the hurt

While we sift through the sand

And dig through the dirt

Just looking for something

Or someone to love you for more than you're worth

We should go to church

[Verse 2]

Let's savе up some cash

We should get us a loan

Chain oursеlves to a mortgage

And buy us a house just to make it a home

And our children will grow

And they'll pick a few fights

But they'll learn how to fail and to share

And to pray to sweet Jesus at night

[Chorus]

It'll be a good start

We'll give it all a good try

Have a drink and a smoke by the fire

'Til the embers expire in the night

And we'll tell a few jokes

'Til the evening adjourns

We should make love in the morn'

'Cause we don't have to go into work

Then we should go to church

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh

Ooh

[Bridge]

'Cause it's the same constellations and radio stations

A new generation cries out as a nation

"Maybe this time we'll get it right"

And maybe it's just the way that the universe planned it

As I stare into two beautiful, blue planets

I've never seen more life inside of a pair of eyes

[Verse 3]

So, during rebuilding years

We'll still cheer for our team

We'll still sit on the bleachers

In the rain and the sleet

We'll still wake up at dawn

Pack our troops in the van

'Cause it's better to be in last place

Than to be a fair-weather fan

[Chorus]

We're probably getting it wrong

But who's ever been right?

Only heaven can tell

So, we'll say "What the hell?" 'til the day that we die

And I'll sing you a song

I'll sell you a shirt

While I'm trying a million ways to be kind 'til i find one that works

We should go to church

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh
