Things You're Selling - Yonder Mountain String Band

Well I don’t need more guilt here in my life

How the hell is that supposed to help me find the light?

And I don’t need you preaching at me day and night

About the way I look, the way I walk

The way I dress and the way I talk

There’s something that you think you see like you’ve ever looked at me

You say you’ve got it figured out

And you seem so damn proud about it

I never really trusted folks who have to talk so loud

That ain’t to say you never looked me in the eye

But lookin' isn’t seein' when you just can’t spare the time

Besides you’re selling things I just don’t feel like buying

Like guilt and pain

Fear and shame

Who to thank, and who to blame

A set of rules that’s bound to keep the living out of life

Who to love and who to hate

What’s too soon and what’s too late

There’s some test you have to pass before you feel the love of god

Well I don’t need some fear of afterlife

How the hell is that supposed to help me find the light?

And I don’t need you preaching at me day and night

About the things I do and the things I don’t

What I will and what I won’t

There’s fire in your eyes sir, and it chills me to the bone

You say you’ve got it figured out

And you seem so damn proud about it

I never really trusted folks who have to talk so loud

So thanks alot man, but I’ll be moving on

Yours is a hateful sermon, and it takes too goddamned long

See, life is short and I’m gonna find mine searching for the light

Yes I’m searching for the light

Searching for the light…
