Living in lonely desperate times 
 
 You're keeping me far enough and way behind 
 
 And never do I know 
 
  
  What you think and do you feel 
 
 Are your fires burning 
 
 You keeping your morals nice and tight 
 
 While keeping your mind all open wide 
 
 What's in the future do you suppose? 
 
 I may have opened up your mind 
  
 
 You seemed to know just what you're doing 
 
 But you signed and changed your tune 
 
 And I'm out loud and I'm not selling myself out
 
 and that's the truth 
  
 
 Keepin' Him low-key just because 
 
 Reason too cool to wear the thorn and cross 
 
 The direction not His course 
  
 
 What you think and do you feel 
 
 Are your fires burning 
 
 You keeping your morals nice and tight 
 
 While keeping your mind all open wide 
 
 What's in the future do you suppose? 
 
 I may have opened up your mind
  
 
 You seemed to know just what you're doing
 
 But you signed and changed your tune
 
 And I'm out loud and I'm not selling myself out
 
 and that's the truth
