Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on my goal

Well, I take a few shluggs on the kisser
I'm coming back at ye, you know I'm going to catch ye
'Cos you know I've got no brakes
It, doesn't matter how long that it takes
My luck I'm going to make.
I take a few shluggs on the kisser
I'm coming back wailing, big right sailing
because you know I've got no brakes
it doesn't matter how long that it takes
My luck I'm going to make.

Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on my goal
Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on the ball

Well I've exchanged the spear and the sword for words and melody
Oh. what a felony how the record company
pushes the McDonalds Music: an aural lobotomy for those who choose it.
Corporations pumpin' all this money in to pop
To keep the real singers far away from the top
Some folks are never told what these corporations do
Fuckin' up the planet exploiting me and you!

Well, I take a few shluggs on the kisser
I'm coming back at ye, you know I'm going to catch ye
'Cos you know I've got no brakes
It, doesn't matter how long that it takes
My luck I'm going to make.
I take a few shluggs on the kisser
I'm coming back wailing, big right sailing
because you know I've got no brakes
it doesn't matter how long that it takes
My luck I'm going to make.

Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on my goal
Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on the ball

From my room in Donaghmede I'm 'bout to kick all your asses
Stick your pink champagne and fuck your backstage passes
I'm a warrior coming down the mountain at ye
A wood cairn springing from the trees to catch ye
I'm licking my wounds in the wilderness
Praying for the warmth of the sun's kiss
My time has come, your race is run
The throne is rightly mine you greedy swine

Well, I take a few shluggs on the kisser
I'm coming back at ye, you know I'm going to catch ye
'Cos you know I've got no brakes
It, doesn't matter how long that it takes
My luck I'm going to make.
I take a few shluggs on the kisser
I'm coming back wailing, big right sailing
because you know I've got no brakes
it doesn't matter how long that it takes
My luck I'm going to make.

Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on my goal
Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on the ball
Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on my goal
Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on the ball
Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on my goal
Patience, gimme some of that sweet patience lord.
I'll keep my eye on the ball

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
