FAITH (IT ALL COMES SOAKED IN GASOLINE)
words/music: bill mallonee

Dunno what you heard 'fore 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

Foreman's car pulls into Hooverville
has 100 jobs for 1000 men
al the kids are starving
so it won't cost him a thing
and gun toting deputy wears a shiny badge
but it don't mean a GD thing
one thing about faith, you can be sure of
It all comes...soaked in gasoline
It all comes...soaked in gasoline

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

They say the Savior had nowhere to lay his head
soon they'll burn this campground down

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
