I don’t go to church
It’s hard to see the light
When someone’s always hurt
And someone’s always right
We sip Holy Communion
We wear our wedding white
For we know not what we do and
No one’s askin’ why
I might be a little disillusioned
I might be a little gun shy
I just wanna get to where the truth is
Maybe be a little less right
You can say what you wanna say
The sweetest rhetoric ain’t gonna save me
Save me tonight
For God so loved the world
Or did he change his mind
Girls are kissing girls
Guess Jesus had to die
A six-year-old has cancer
We send our prayers and our good vibes
Our prerecorded answer
Lord, Your will, not mine
I might be a little disillusioned
I might be a little gun shy
I just wanna get to where the truth is
Maybe be a little less right
You can say what you wanna say
The sweetest rhetoric ain’t gonna save me
Save me tonight
Maybe someday I’ll come back
Fight fiction for the fact
Put my name back in the hat
I’m still just a little disillusioned
Maybe I’m a little gun shy
I just wanna get to where the truth is
Maybe be a little less right
You can say what you wanna say
The sweetest rhetoric ain’t gonna save me
Save me tonight

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
