[verse 1]
i hear you laughing loudly
but i´m not laughing with you
well you may be joking first
but i´ll be the one who has the last laugh

[verse 2]
you call yourself "progressive"
i say it´s all regressive
you think you can stand in judgment
so listen here and i´ll remind you

["chorus"]
preaching the converted ´cause it´s all you know
music´s dead because it´s all about the money now
and you don´t even know who you are anymore
"put it out somehow" -
and the business man laughs all the way to the bank
and he´s counting fast and he´s laughing
hard.laughing loud

[2nd time only]
and he´s counting fast and he´s laughing
hard.laughing loud
and you don´t even know who owns you anymore
"put it out somehow" - "put it out somehow"
and the business man laughs all the way to the bank
and he´s counting fast and he´s laughing
hard.laughing loud
and he´s counting fast and he´s laughing
hard.laughing loud
can you take it?
[cadence]
in our test of wills you got us for a song
music´s dead you sold us out for much too long
preaching the converted......

[verse 3]
i´ve given you all i have
but you say i must find more
"i´ve got to dig deeper-i´ve got to see
all the way within my soul"

[verse 4]
you may call it inspiration
but i´d call it desperation
we´re wasting our moments for now
reliving the past - again and again

[repeat with "full chorus"]
[bridge - aba?]
a game of tin soldiers is all that we´re playing here
but nobody wins
well it doesn´t mean anything
´cause it isn´t all your saying now
but i hope i´m invited for the ride
just in case we end our test of wills
yes i´ve seen much stranger things in my
days......
[cadenza]
preaching still...........
preaching the converted in our test of
wills................
