heh. bumped into him at the Parachute Music Festival this year. hes just a person, as this vid so well illustrates. a normal person who writes and plays what he loves. im so impressed. none of it has gone to his head. he is most definately an honourable person..
absolutely agree with you. this is the song with the greatest lyrics on the fall ep. really great stuff jon keep it coming you're lyrics affect me in a way music has never done before.
the day of justice comes, and is even now switftly arriving, and is even now, quickly arriving, dont trust anyone at all, not your best friend or even your wife. for the son hates the father. the daughter despises even her mother. look, your enemies are right, right in the room of your very household.. No dont gloat over me. though i fall, though i fall, i will rise again. though i sit here in darkness, the Lord, the Lord alone, he will be my light. i will be patient as the Lord
judges me for the wrongs ive done against him. after that he'll thake my case. bringin to me to light and to justice to all i hav suffered. and both of his hands are equally skilled
Why did someone "thumbs-down" "switchfootfan3's" entry. Was it not formatted, as verse should be? All s/he did was write the lyrics, how can that be worthy of a red, negative one. Someone help me out!
This song is amazing. We asked Jon about it a few days ago, and he said it's straight from Micah 7. No joke! He practically took the whole verse from an NLT version, with minor edits. This is awesome!
wow... this is amazing... I'm so glad it's going on his ep...
I think it's one of those types of songs (as are most of his songs) that I will have to listen to many times before it really hits me how amazing it is
wow. Just wow. The last part of the song is really hard hitting. I was really looking forward to hearing this song so thanks so much for recording it and posting!
This is the kind of Christian music I can dig.

nothing wrong with changing lyrics when playing live....Dylan did it all the time an is known as one of the greatest songwriters ever

he changed some words, like he said murdering justice and quickly arriving instead of perverting justice and swiftly arriving.

How can you not cry when you hear this song??? One of the most conscience-piercing examples of songwriting I've ever heard.

how miserable i am
i feel like a fruit picker who arrives here after the harvest
theres nothing here at all
nothing at all here that could placate my hunger
the godly people are all gone
theres not one honest soul left alive, here on the planet
we're all murderers and thieves,
setting traps here, for even out brothers
and both of our hands r equally skilled, at doing evil, equally skilled, at bribing the judges, equally skilled at perverting justtice
both of out hands both of our hands
