Verse 1
Ahmir wanted to taste death all of a sudden/Eat, and feast on the fruit of destruction/Its just desserts came when he pressed two of the buttons/Death was coming, he would bring it upon them/He will intermingle in the crowds of singles/All he need do is get in between the people/And he knew before the eve grew so very late/He would be blessed to witness a better fate/Wrestle through his shirt and let his bomb detonate/Hurling metal and screws indiscriminately/Slinging the remains of the youths into the street/Leaving his soul in eternity, mission complete/But a funny thing happened when he reached inside of himself/His eye met the eye of a guy he despised so well/And as the child smiled, Ahmir knew he had defiled himself/And as he left, he said this is not how right should have felt
Hook
He’s got that good faith (good faith), faith, what does he believe in/He’s got that good faith (good faith), faith, tell me what is he seeing/He’s got that good faith (good faith), faith tell me what is the reason/For that good faith (good faith), faith, that good faith, faith/You’ve got that good faith (good faith), faith, what do you believe in/You’ve got that good faith (good faith), faith, tell me what are you seeing/ You’ve got that good faith (good faith), faith, tell me what’s the reason for that good faith, faith
Verse 2
Andy’s inspired and he’s got a burning desire/To do each and everything his god would require/Baptize his faith in the fire, no faith other could be higher/It’s the very type of faith his brothers admired/So with hatred in his heart he assembled a cross with duct tape and discarded pieces of bark/And he marched off to finish what he would start/Plant his inflammatory remarks in a family’s yard/And when the sparks reached to God, he would be under the cross/And the flames would show how much he was one with the cause/But a funny thing happened when he got his match to ignite/He saw the horror on the faces of people packed inside/And Andy paused, then looked back in their eyes/And saw the sparks lit the thoughts he intended to hide/And Andy was faced with a decision that night/And he knew if this wasn’t wrong, he didn’t want to be right

Verse 3
You’ve got that good faith, tell what do you believe in/A loving God who isn’t hard hearing on the weekends/Who catches your echoed prayers once they bounce upon the ceiling/Who hears and sees, but doesn’t care about the way we live/You’ve got that good faith, tell me what are you seeing/I’m told we cannot see the forest because we’re blinded by its tree limbs/So we cut them down for a better view in which to see them/Forgetting the handle of the axe comes from the wood the tree gives/And it’s only after cutting that we begin to learn that secret/We say we love God, and hate people as we see fit/We may not ignite crosses, we may not assemble bombs/But when we fail to love each other, that is when sin will come/We pray for the needy, but won’t even greet them when we see them/And tell them the everlasting God is the one that we believe in/We’ve got that good faith, tell what is the reason/When it is housed in stained glass, and no one else can see it
Hook
You’ve got that good faith (good faith), faith, what do you believe in/You’ve got that good faith (good faith), faith, tell me what are you seeing/ You’ve got that good faith, faith, tell me what’s the reason for that good faith, faith (repeat)
