Why does my nation stand still?
Remembering a day long past
Some dude getting back from the dead
A dude that spoke of wine and breaking bread
I seen better shows many times
Why not hail Copperfield
He at least is out of our time
But does the nation pause for him?
Or go to church to dance and sing
Easter to me is just another day
So let me be in peace in my atheist way
