Letra de ' Liberal Backslider ' de Martyn Joseph

I'm a liberal backslider i've been sliding 'bout ten years
People ask me how i'm doin' and i confirm all their fears
I'm swearing like a trooper, and i'm drinking like a bum
I'm a liberal backslider and it sure is a lot of fun.

Been following these footsteps now for many a year gone by
But you always upset someone there no matter how you try
Well the good things they're forgotten if a bad thing comes around
Now all these stones are flyin' they're gonna knock me to the ground

I'm a liberal backslider….
I take a stand on justice, i take a stand on race
Gonna take me a tv evangelist and punch him in the face
I sing about the hope that's in me and ask why the poor aren't fed
But if i don't tow the party line, it's be better if i were dead

I'm a liberal backslider….

So i'll be asking for forgiveness then until the day i die
Though i can't be sure of what i've done i think i'd better try
Thank god you're not the jury, thank god i'm not the judge
Here's to a bigger picture, here's to the bigger love!
I'm a liberal backslider…
