Kids Lyrics by Leah Lawson

Flood House

2022

[Verse 1]
I remember staying at your house
Telling stories 'bout your neighbor down the street
You were convinced she was a witch
Doesn't matter if it's true, we believed it
[Chorus]
All the things we were taught as kids
Couldn't pry them from our hands
All the things we were taught as kids
Couldn't pry them from our hands
[Verse 2]
You and I washed the blood
On the same day in September
And I was there when you grandmother died
We were sure she'd get to heaven
[Chorus]
All the things we were taught as kids
Couldn't pry them from our hands
All the things we were taught as kids
Couldn't pry them from our hands
[Verse 3]
Every Sunday you and I were in the pews
Singin' hallelujah, singin' hallelujah
Maybe Christ was just a kind of currency
I could hold it over you
You can hold it over me
I can hold it over
You can hold it over me
[Verse 4]
Spend half your life
Sitting on your hands
Praying away every urge you ever had
Paying the pastor's mortgage
What can I show for it?
We're gonna die either way
Paying the pastor's mortgage
What can I show for it?
We're gonna die either way
[Chorus]
All the things we were taught as kids
Couldn't pry them from our hands
All the things we were taught as kids
Couldn't pry them from our hands
