it really is amazing how we have contextualized the gospel for our consumer-driven society... much to our demise. we've cheapened it, emptied it of its beauty, mystery, and love... and have reduced it to a product (or eternal vacation package in the afterlife) that can be attained through a quick recitation of a prayer...
don't give up you are almost there from my chair it's looking good you can do anything that you get your mind made up to do
so just keep struggling with the jobs you're juggling someone's bound to give you a break and there's so much more that you can take
brother, it's cool i'm not attacking you and nobody's trying to call you a fool i'm just trying to make nice with some friendly advice and some knowledge that i picked up at school
don't give up it just wouldn't be fair to the kids in your neighborhood everyone has some burdens to bear you would share them if you knew that you could
it must be harrowing your prospects are narrowing better get your ass in a pew
get your shit together if you want to live forever there's still time for me to show you the truth brother, here is what is in it for you

Where do y'all find these images? This one makes me so sad. Lord have mercy on us.

THE PITCH by The Soft Drugs
don't give up
you are almost there
from my chair it's looking good
you can do anything that you
get your mind made up to do
so just keep struggling
with the jobs you're juggling
someone's bound to give you a break
and there's so much more that you can take
brother, it's cool
i'm not attacking you
and nobody's trying to call you a fool
i'm just trying to make nice
with some friendly advice
and some knowledge that i picked up at school
don't give up
it just wouldn't be fair
to the kids in your neighborhood
everyone has some burdens to bear
you would share them if you knew that you could
it must be harrowing
your prospects are narrowing
better get your ass in a pew
get your shit together
if you want to live forever
there's still time for me to show you the truth
brother, here is what is in it for you
thanks for that phil.
great lyrics... i'll have to give it a listen.
the album is a free download on the soft drugs site. i think it's pretty good.
