Ya Hey

Lyrics

Oh, sweet thing
 Zion doesn't love You
 Babylon don't love You
 But You love everything
 Oh, You saint
 America don't love You
 So I could never love You
 In spite of everything
 In the dark of this place, there's the glow of Your face
 There's the dust on the screen of this broken machine
 And I can't help but feel, that I made some mistake
 But I let it go, ya hey, ya hey, ya hey
 Through the fire and through the flames (ya hey, ya hey)
 (Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey, ya hey)
 You won't even say Your name (ya hey, ya hey)
 (Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey, ya hey)
 Through the fire and through the flames, You won't even say Your name
 Only, "I am that I am"
 But who could ever live that way? (Ya hey, ya hey)
 Ut Deo, ya hey, ut Deo, Deo
 Oh
 The motherland don't love You
 The fatherland don't love You
 So why love anything?
 Oh, good God
 The faithless they don't love You
 The zealous hearts don't love You
 And that's not gonna change
 All the cameras and files, all the paranoid style
 All the tension and fear, of the secret career
 And I can't help but feel that You seen the mistakes
 But You let it go, ya hey, ya hey, ya hey
 Through the fire and through the flames (ya hey, ya hey)
 (Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey, ya hey)
 You won't even say Your name (ya hey, ya hey)
 (Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey, ya hey)
 Through the heart and through the flames, You won't even say Your name
 You say, "I am that I am"
 But who could ever live that way? (Ya hey, ya hey)
 Ut Deo, ya hey, ut Deo, Deo
 Outside the tents, on the festival grounds
 As the air began to cool and the sun went down
 My soul swooned as I faintly heard the sound
 Of You spinning "Israelites" into "19th Nervous Breakdown"
 Through the fire and through the flames (ya hey, ya hey)
 (Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey, ya hey)
 You won't even say Your name (ya hey, ya hey)
 (Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey, ya hey)
 Through the fire and through the flames, You won't even say Your name
 Only, "I am that I am"
 But who could ever live that way?
 Ut Deo, Ya hey, ut Deo, Deo
 Through the fire and through the flames, You won't even say Your name
 Only, "I am that I am"
 But who could ever live that way? (Ya hey, ya hey)
 Ut Deo, ya hey, ut Deo, Deo
