The Last One

lyrics

You won't find God's grace in the slaughterhouse
Or in the cancer of a child's eyes
You won't find His forgiveness in the prisons
Or in messages of hope from those who've died

You won't find directions when you're lost
From an ethereal guide
You won't find comfort from the cold
In the dead of Winter when you're locked outside

But you can live this life
You can live this life like it's the last one
You can live this life
You can live this life like it's the last one

You'll never get a medal for your chastity
Or for the judgment of strangers
You'll never find peace within yourself
When you're a slave to two masters

You won't find God in factory farming
Or in the fleecing of fools
Though I'm sure His name is often mentioned
In places where the unconscionable rule

But you can live this life
You can live this life like it's the last one
You can live this life
You can live this life like it's the last one

You may think God is talking to you
Telling you all the things you ought to do
But if He's telling you to fuck someone over
Maybe He's not the best one to listen to

You have to have the faith to let yourself go completely
Everybody only wants to love their life
And you never really know when you're all alone

But you can live this life
You can live this life like it's the last one
You can live this life
You can live this life like it's the last one

It's the last one.
