Lyrics

Yeah, mr deeds has got
You wrapped around
His finger
With what you think you need
To do to be delivered
You look for accidents so
You can be the hero
You wrote the charity check
That ends in double zeros
You help old ladies cross
The street, you welcome
Homeless where you sleep
You give to everyone in need
You even hold a city key
Aren't you great?
But that's not good enough

If you don't have faith you
Have nothing at all
If you don't have deeds your
Faith will fall
They can't be true without
Each other
You can't have one without
The other

You think that faith is where
You sit on sunday mornings
You've got a front row seat
Where you can be
Seen snoring
Throughout the week you
Live your life inside a bubble
You find your happiness
Avoiding people's troubles
Your life revolves around
Yourself, you don't treat
Others very well
You say your faith will get
You by and that you won't be
Left behind
You might be right, but that's
Not good enough

If you don't have deeds you
Have nothing at all
If you don't have faith your
Deeds will fall
They can't be true without
Each other
You can't have one without
The other

You know I can't see thinking
That I'd be
Better off living just for
Selfish ambition, no
I know that faith is more than
Just believing
We should do the right
Things, for the right reasons
