[Verse 1] Tell everyone Tell everyone youd like to tell That Im not gonna make it here Waiting and waiting for God To carry me to shore No, Im not gonna take it here And I said to my mother Gonna change you, gonna save you But Ill be here anyway [Chorus] Everyone knows its just like that The government knows its just like that The writing is written on your back Ill take an island in your eyes Watch the sun get high and pretend until its all gone I dont ever wanna go This cathedral is my home [Verse 2] Wake up inside Wake up inside what you dont know Cause were not gonna make it here For years, weve been acting so cold Useless chat and ice No, were not gonna take it here And I said to my mother Gonna change you, gonna save you But Ill be here [Chorus] Everyone knows its just like that The government knows its just like that The writing is written on our back Ill take an island in your eyes Watch the sun get high and pretend until its all gone I dont ever wanna go This cathedral is my home This cathedral is my home
