"Instead you're slashing through the mud"

Greetings,

In our lives, there are songs that energize us and there are also songs that make up think.  In my life, the song "Everything Must Go" is such a song.  The lead singer for Taking Back Sunday wrote this song as a response to a great change within his life.  The song has always moved me and has been one of the songs that I listen to when times are tough.  Please enjoy the lyrics below.

"We found a house with a yard
And moved all of my things
And most of your things, in
And honey I was proud of it
But honey I was proud of, you

You quote the Good Book,
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you're slashing through the mud

Some boxes, that
Hand-me-down couch, and chair
That used to be at your church
We borrowed them from there
A cabinet record player with nothing but James Taylor
Tore the carpets from the corner
To put in the hardwood floor
I'd be a fool to ask for more...

You quote the Good Book,
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you're slashing through the mud

You quote the Good Book,
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you're slashing through the mud

The love you but couldn't name
The path that we were stuck between
Beside myself I start to think
Oh Lord, what have I done?

You quote the Good Book,
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you're slashing through the mud

You quote the Good Book,
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you're slashing through the mud"
