The priest is prayin' for your soul And the doctor for your heart Someone tell me how to live Now that we must live apart Once we had a mother But that's all over now So wish her well and let her go Just as soon as you know how It's a strange new world we live in Where the church leads you to hell And the lawyers get the money For the lives they divide and sell And the only truth believed in Is the one upon the screen So we live our lives like fugitives And we were born to live like queens Once we all were daughters Now we'll never hear thy name I never think I could have learned I just turned into the game Don't send me no more letters With your ignorance and rage I don't want your tired religion Not a soul you need to save It's a strange new world we live in Where the church leads you to hell And the lawyers get the money For the lives they divide and sell It's a strange new world we live in Where the church sends you to hell And the lawyers get the money For the lives they divide and sell And the only truth believed in Is the one upon the screen So we live our lives like fugitives And we were born to live like queens
