Oh, sweet thing Zion doesn't love you And Babylon don't love you But you love everything Oh, you saint America don't love you So I could never love you In spite of everything
In the dark of this place There's the glow of your face There's the dust on the screen Of this broken machine And I can't help but feel That I've made some mistake But I let it go Ya Hey [x3]
Through the fire and through the flames (Ya hey [x2], Ut Deo, ya hey [x2]) You won't even say your name (Ya hey [x2], Ut Deo, ya hey [x2]) Through the fire and through the flames You won't even say your name Only "I am that I am" But who could ever live that way? (Ya Hey [x2]) Ut Deo, Ya Hey Ut Deo, Deo Oh, the motherland don't love you The fatherland don't love you So why love anything? Oh, good God The faithless they don't love you The zealous hearts don't love you And that's not gonna change
All the cameras and files All the paranoid styles All the tension and fear Of a secret career And I think in your heart That you've seen the mistake But you let it go Ya Hey [x3]
Outside the tents, on the festival grounds As the air began to cool, and the sun went down My soul swooned, as I faintly heard the sound Of you spinning "Israelites" Into "19th Nervous Breakdown"
Through the fire and through the flames You won't even say your name Only "I am that I am" But who could ever live that way? (Ya Hey [x2]) Ut Deo, Ya Hey Ut Deo, Deo
