I keep saying that I'll jump in the water
But mostly I suppose I never will
I don't want to be the sons of martyrs
Born and raised to fire and shoot to kill
She says I should give my thanks to Jesus
Never met him don't suppose he cares
Sinners pray but saints they don't believe us
I'll just take my time along to spare
You keep trying to control tomorrow
You refuse to give it all away
I'll take all the time that I can borrow
All the same for you there'll come a day
I think I should give my faith to Jesus
I never met him don't suppose I will
He carried on his shoulders our diseases
All we found was one more man to kill
I'll keep saying that I'll jump in the water
But mostly I suppose I never will
