No Substitute by mike bullock There are many hurting people Use the world to help their ills Buying loads of useless fodder Cults, Religions, Potions, Pills satan's laughing at their pain he wants them all to go to hell Where the cries of screaming inmates Toll their everlasting bell. There's no substitute for Christ No matter what we're going through Though the world can help us out It only lasts a day or two Then the gnawing starts again It cannot fill the God shaped hole He's the only piece that fits He's our only peace at all. |
