in anger over the pain of the world
social engineers design the end of the world
they’re going the extra mile
in honor of some idea of charity
they’re taking everything away from me
just going the extra mile
to convince these men they’re wrong
would take a lifetime, another lifetime
when all the teachers are the leaders of the mob
so in sadness over the end of the world
my anger bubbles over the world
and I’m going the extra mile
hurry and get it over with
rush to the end, bring on the end
with self-fulfilling prophecy you see
here’s the thing: I set the stage
I’m gonna sin
I’ll win the rat race, I’m all in
here’s the thing: I set the stage
I’m gonna sin
and win the rat race, I’m all in
the Lord may layer the floods upon the Earth
but he’ll never save the men in his church
who’ve gone the extra mile
here we stand outside heaven’s gates
you’d better let us in or you’ll be sorry
we’ve gone the extra mile
