Total Depravity

I asked our father and he said

It don't get no easier once you're dead

This whole universe is just mud and bone

And you carry what you can alone

There's total depravity staring back at me

There's total depravity standing right in front of me

I try to look away and I fail

I try to look away and I fail

I asked my mother what went wrong

She said it's been bad all along

And you'd better face the butcher straight

If you don't want to end up on his plate, son

I try to look away and I fail

I try to look away and I fail
