lyrics

Faith (Comes Soaked in Gasoline) words/music: bill mallonee
Dunno what you heard before you got here
Dunno what you thought you'd see
one thing about faith you can be sure of
It all comes soaked in gasoline
It all comes soaked in gasoline

the foreman's car pulls into Hoover-ville
He's gotta 100 jobs for 1000 men
and 'cause our kids look like skeletons
it won't cost him much of any thing
and gun toting deputy wears a shiny badge
but that kinda justice don't mean a thing
one thing about faith, you can be sure of
It all comes...soaked in gasoline

bridge:
they'll douse the camp at midnight
so you'd better be up and packed
one day something more than fire is gonna fall
when that fella strikes the match

They say the Savior had nowhere to lay his head
and pretty soon neither shall we.
one thing about faith you can be sure:
well, it all comes soaked in gasoline

i dunno what you heard before to got here
dunno what you thought you'd see
one thing about faith, you can be sure of
It all comes...soaked in gasoline
It all comes...soaked in gasoline
