"God Given (Stephen Morris & Gillian Gilbert)" lyrics - NINE INCH NAILS

Hey man, please don't make a sound
Take a look around, can't you see what's right in front of you
Have a little taste, no more time to waste
You don't wanna get left behind
Cause it's all coming down right now

How hard is it to see
Put your faith in me
Cause you wouldn't want to be
Nailed to the wrong piece of wood
You should get where you belong
Everything you know is wrong
C'mon, sing along, everybody now

God given

And they gave us sight
And you'll see the light
And it burned so bright
Now you know we're right
But its yet to come
And the work we've done
We've just begun
We're the chosen one

Hey, step into the light
How can this be right?
I'm in front of you
Now ask me to leave
This you cannot win
With the color of your skin
You won't be getting into the Promised Land
It's just another case
Still don't know your place
Step aside, look away, wipe that look of your face
Cause waves of defiance
Come raining from the sky
C'mon, sing along, everybody now

God given

And they gave us sight
And you'll see the light
And it burned so bright
Now you know we're right
But its yet to come
And the work we've done
We've just begun
We're the chosen one
