lyrics

Jesus only told us to hang up our sins / so what did what we do / we hung up him / So we've got hangups aplenty and sin in surplus / and a rusty old nail lodged deep inside of each of us /

This golden shining sun / it keeps getting brighter / and this old crown of thorns / it keeps getting tighter / And all of God's children are playing with guns / yeah there's a rusty old nail / lodged deep inside of everyone /

These nails will corrode on their own / we must not forget / we're built of oceans and stones / we cannot be broken and we will not be owned / So the Devil may come on strong / but he'll be leaving alone /

These days pass like dreams and there's none in between / I sleep like a stone / wake up in a stream / its flow drags me over all manners of pain / until I stumble home to my nail / and I drive it in again /
