LYRICS:

Nobody talks too loud in my hometown

Nobody stands too tall for fear of getting knocked down

Just follow straight lines and teach your children how

Well, you just do your job and conceal your doubts

And the flames of hell they seemed so high when I could barely see over the pew

I was just a boy when they told me that lie but, lord, it felt so true

With one big voice, all the children sang

The grown folks lead and they praised his name

Like an army camp marching off to fight

Like a mindless chant will make you right

And that's a hell of a thing to do to a kid just to teach him right from wrong

You can burn in hell the rest of your days or you can choose to sing along

Sing along

You can speculate about the way things end

Or you can sit and wait for the resurrection

But a child believes in whatever they're told

A pillar of flame, a street of gold

And the flames of hell they seemed so high when I could barely see over the pew

I was just a boy when they told me that lie but, lord, it felt so true

And that's a hell of a thing to do to a kid just to teach him right from wrong

You can burn in hell the rest of your days or you can choose to sing along

Sing along

Sometimes I think the greatest writers and poets today are songwriters -- this one certainly makes me think that.
