Church and State Lyrics by Sam MacPherson

2025

[Verse 1]
\nSomebody’s son’s back there tied up to the tubes
\nThe medics pushing the stuff that makes the junkies drool
\n13 minutes till Monmouth Med
\nI’m ripping through the lights
\nIn the shotgun somebody’s son‘s girlfriend starts to close her eyes
\nBut Mary snaps awake and gets it off her chest
\nShe gave a ten percent to the priest of Saint James mass
\nGod, she could really use that cash to afford this ride
\nGod she’s paying, might just let her boy back therе die
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nYou think all your troubles might’ve won you somеthing
\nSitting around at a banquet of nothing
\nTorn apart two ways
\nCursing church and state
\nEvery single [?] waiting to break
\nKnowing the future’s [?] away
\nCursing church and state
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nThe boy’s a factory, taking the shadow of the airport
\nHe found a woman who loves him like the girl he’s been looking for
\nBut Mary’s got it all figured out
\nAnd she needs him to decide
\n[?] both keep him alive and just when
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nYou think all your troubles might’ve won you something
\nSitting around at a banquet of nothing
\nTorn apart two ways
\nCursing church and state
\nEvery single [?] waiting to break
\nKnowing the future’s [?] away
\nCursing church and state
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nSterile field, fluorescent lights
\nThe quiet rush to save a life
\nIt’s not your fault, you know that right?
\nIt’s not your fault you close your eyes
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nYou think all your troubles might’ve won you something
\nSitting around at a banquet of nothing
\nTorn apart two ways
\nCursing church and state
\nEvery single [?] waiting to break
\nKnowing the future’s [?] away
\nCursing church and state\n\n
