One nation under God but where are we going? We try to make the best of our lives not really knowing That our own righeousness is but filthy rags In the eyes of the Holy One Its a state of the heart not the flag Its a mad mad world were living in Making up our own rules We make excuses for sin Its a mad mad world were living in We tell ourselves that were OK Its what we do not how we play That earns us our golden crown Thats the thing we all love to say But our own righeousness is but filthy rags In the eyes of the Holy One Its a state of the heart not the flag
