Lyrics
Momma prays the collar stays
Mother hopes that the appearance remains proper
And fake black leather dress-up shoes
Imitation leather shoes for a formal look
To keep me looking clean and prude
To maintain a modest and clean image
For Jesus to see us
For religious approval or acknowledgment
And the snacks that we leave crushed there
Leftover snacks on the floor of the church
In the carpet below the pews
Underneath the benches where people sit to pray
I don't need a sign
Not requiring a clear indication or signal
If it's fake, then that's alright with me
Accepting falsehood if it brings comfort
I guess I'll never know what's really right
Uncertainty about absolute truth
I'll just keep on playing
Continuing actions without certainty
Like all of it feels so real to me
Perceiving everything as genuinely significant
And God's got me a mansion
Belief in a future place provided by God
With the angels in heaven
Surrounded by celestial beings in paradise
I was told in Sunday school that
Religious teachings conveyed during childhood
"God's got real big plans for you"
Expectation of divine purpose for oneself
I hope it's true
Desire for the anticipated destiny to be true
If I can keep from the Devil's drink
Avoiding sinful behavior
My grandkids' kids will remember me
Hoping for a lasting legacy
I don't need a sign
Not reliant on explicit signs
If it's fake, then that's alright with me
Acceptance of uncertainty or falsehood
I guess I'll never know what's really right
Uncertainty about absolute truth
I'll just keep on playing
Continuing actions without certainty
Like all of it feels so real to me
Perceiving everything as genuinely significant
And God's got me a mansion in the sky
Belief in a heavenly dwelling prepared by God
And speak of my return
Talking about the future return
When Jesus resurrects all of the
Resurrection of morally upright individuals
Righteous boys and girls
Reference to righteous individuals
And all of my stupid asshole
Mention of past tormentors
Friends that tortured me
Former friends who caused distress
In high school will be cast in the flames
Imagining punishment for tormentors
Oh god, I can't wait, yeah
Expressing anticipation for their suffering
And I know that God hates my yellin'
Awareness of disapproval for loud behavior by God
But I hope there's windows in heaven
Wishing for a vantage point in heaven
Where I can watch them burn
Desire to witness the punishment
Cause I don't need a sign
Not dependent on a clear indication
If it's fake, then that's alright with me
Acceptance of uncertainty or falsehood
I guess I'll never know what's really right
Uncertainty about absolute truth
I'll just keep on playing
Continuing actions without certainty
Like all of it feels so real to me
Perceiving everything as genuinely significant
And God's got me a mansion in the
Belief in a celestial dwelling prepared by God
God's got me a mansion in the
Repeated affirmation of a heavenly home
God's got me a mansion in the sky
Affirmation of a heavenly abode by God
