External Fix-It Remedies 歌詞

These weeds keep popping up I thought I killed them all last week Because I dowsed them with that poison Whose label read 'extra strength' But sure enough they're still there Sure as they'd been before Strangling all the flowers I've created this garden for I've tried all the external fix-it remedies And I've exhausted every ounce of my own strength But until I dig down deep enough to find the root All I'm doing is yanking out the weeds You say you're sin keeps popping up You thought you killed it all last week Cause you told yourself you'd stop it all And you prayed that you'd be released But sure enough its still there Sure as it had been before Distracting you from righteousness And rotting out your solid core You've tried all the external fix-it remedies And you've exhausted every ounce of your own strength But until you dig down deep enough to find the root All you're doing is yanking out the weeds My garden was once my favorite part of this place It's beauty overshadowed all others in this town You see I hired a man to care for it and keep it He was the best gardener around But soon my old pride got to thinking About doing this job on my own I fired the man who perfectly kept it And that's when the weeds started growing I've tried all the external fix-it remedies And I've exhausted every ounce of my own strength But until I dig down deep enough to find the root All I'm doing is yanking out the weeds
