jon foreman - patron saint of rock and roll lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i saw the patron saints parade down city hall
i saw the patron saints for the handsome, rich and tall
i felt so out of place, appalling and appalled
they all drove away and there was no one left to call

[chorus]
cause there ain’t no surrogate savior for my soul
there ain’t no patron saint for rock and roll
for rock and roll

[verse 2]
i stood and watched the parade crowded in the back
i couldn’t see a thing through the patriotic flag
the huddled m-sses and me disillusioned in the rain
wondering what america means when i feel so out of place

[chorus]

[bridge]
sometimes i feel lonely, devilish and old
as if my congregation were the bitter cold
and my hymnal feels like it’s got holes
christ alone could save my soul

[verse 3]
there’s a park downtown
where the homeless get ignored
where the church next door is a crowd
singing “blessed are the poor”
where the mercedes drive away
muttering, “druggies, drunks and wh0r-s”
where the bumper sticker displays
“my copilot is the lord”

[chorus] (x2)
