And if I raise my hand It's cause I don't understand Why all the grown-ups that I know Believe in boy kings and this giant man I'd gladly bow my head Just show me the bones I'm sorry Mrs. Steves I just can't stand it down here on my knees I like magic Magicians The parting of the sea But your god ain't wrought nothing but blasphemy Swear I'd gladly bow my head Just show me dem bones I like stained glass I like grape juice But I like questions And I like proof Bones Oh, where are the bones? Someone show me his bones Please! I've seen pharaohs I've seen dodos I've seen dinosaur bones Full of marrow Bones to fill the grave Oh, someone show me his bones So I can show someone my faith Slings and stones May break my bones But these fables These tales This book won't save my soul Hell she hath no fury like an East Orange man's firstborn Goddamn me Reprimand me My detention set me free!
