I wish I could be as naive as you br Some times, just watching the world br Like it's some bible story br A morality tale, where we do no wrong br How I wish it was like that br br But I grew up in the real world br A northern child from a broken home br And I saw what people do br And I heard what people think br It doesn't shock me br It doesn't surprise me br I understand that people sin br Yeah, and I join in... br br So when you pull that face br Of shear disgust and hate br I’m more surprised by your reaction br Than what the man has done br So close your mouth br And settle down br Yeah people degrade themselves br And if that's what they want br Then let them, let them br br But when you read these words br You'll be stunned that I write anything br You're unable to believe br That I can create as well as you br It shouldn't shock you br It shouldn't surprise you br Just understand that people sing br Yeah, and I join in!br br B..
