[Verse 1]
You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I will never ever, ever choose to be,
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior
Has abandoned you.
Fuck your God, your lord, your Christ, he did this,
Took what you had and left you this way
Still you pray never stray, never taste of the fruit,
Never thought to question why.

[Chorus]
It's not like you killed someone,
It's not like you drove the hateful spear into his side,
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed.
He did it all for you.
He did it all for you.

[Verse 2]
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your
Dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ to your god
Never taste of the fruit, never stray, never break,
Never choke on a lie.
Even though he's the one who did this to you,
You never thought to question why.

[Chorus]
It's not like you killed someone,
It's not like you drove the spiteful spear into his side,
Talk to Jesus Christ as if he knows the reasons why.
He did it all for you.
He did it all for you.
He did it all for you.
Mer De Noms

zerospace_13 		this was the first song that i had ever heard by APC and since then i've been a fan of their music and everything else about them... however, this is just one version of many of this song that treats it with the justifaction that it needs... the tilling my grave mix is fucking incredible... check it out if you haven't already...

MwR 		Actually Vick, I just watched an interview about APC going over Mer De Noms. Billy wrote the songs as far as composing music goes. Maynard did take care of the words. go to http://www.a perfectcircle.com and watch the interview with Billy and Maynard about Mer De Noms. Just making sure that credit goes where it should.

MwR 		and zerospace is right, other versions of this song are also incredible. however, tilling my grave mix was for 'weak & powerless' judith was a renholder remix. both freakin' awesome.

Atmosphere 		this is about maynards mother, she was paralyzed for 27 years. hence the new album 10000 days ( 27 years ) . these songs are about her. this one explains that no matter what his mother never gave up faith in god, and maynard was always confused why, this is what this song is about. i hope that clears shit up

ivan 		What Maynard doesn't know is that the Devil is real and he only causes pain. Gos is love he should not be confused. His Mom knew that God would never abandon her, MJK has to know that he (the Devil) exists.
