Am
Everybody drinks the water
                D
From the murky pool
 Am
Surely as you think you're well
                    D
You know your belly aches
Am
Everybody learns religion
                      D
At the blind man's school
 Am
Will you reach for heaven when the
                      D
Preacher charms the snake

F                 G
Is your faith so right

Are you so blessed
Am                        D
Everybody wanders in the forest
F                  G
Is your heart so true


Count the butts and bottles
In the morning when we're gone
Fools agree reality is more than we should bear
How do you gaze into the sun from dusk to dawn
We love the truth enough to die but we won't swear

Is your faith so right
Are you so blessed
Everybody wanders in the forest
Is your heart so true
Are you so good
Everybody wanders in the woods

Everybody begs the juror be more than merciful
For the crimes we celebrate for bigotry we learn
Everybody drinks the water from the murky pool
Surely as it heals your soul you feel your body burn

Is your faith so right
Are you so blessed
Everybody wanders in the forest
Is your heart so true
Are you that good
Everybody wanders in the woods
Everybody wanders in the forest
Everybody wanders in the wilderness
