lyrics

i don't have a lot of time
for the zealot and the bigot
the meddler and the crook
i've never seen an answer
in any sacred book
i won't reconsider
it's not worth a second look
i don't have a lot of time

i can't see the things you see
i don't know what you want from me
i can't believe in something
that i have never seen
sinner, saint then sinner
there is no in between
for the blinkered and the bitter
the orange and the green
i don't have a lot of time

i don't have a lot of time
for the inquisitive inspector
who then turns the other cheek
the sullen chief objector
who's too afraid to speak
for the narrow minded teacher
who tries to steer the weak
i don't have a lot of time
