But what is your perspective?
[A] Could you acclimate the empathy enough to try [Dm] and respect it?
To praise God as a man is in [A] hope
Just to crucify the devil when you needed a [Bb] smoke stand-up

[A] Morality of that which is subjective
And act upon the fact that we know [Dm] best is a collective
Remedy the enemy the [A] populace picks
And implement the prejudice the [Dm] sorrow commits
How strong are your convictions that a [A] heaven exists?
Is it enough to sacrifice the choice of [Dm] life to persist?
Always knowing that our growing keeps us [A] safe and snug

Heaven awaits

The sin [A] sorrow brings [Dm] us down
