"Call Yourself" lyrics

I got a suspicion that the world is on a mission
To show me just how little I can do
The good times go by fast, all the bad ones seems to last
So much longer than I'd ever want them to
The way we deal with troubles reveals how much we know
They often make us stronger but they lay us pretty low before they do

Well, some say they don't worry, help is comin' in a hurry
Celestial sirens soundin' so divine
Comin' down so holy, trailin' clouds of glory
Bands of angels hustlin' up behind
Santa Claus is comin', and the Easter bunny too
Tinkerbell's been runnin' late, but that ain't nothin' new
She takes her time

Well, it's just superheroes in all sizes comin' like the sea that rises
In a tide to wash away our tears
They never show up till we need 'em
Not before we're bruised and bleedin'
And the nick of time is music to their ears
Dressed in ties and tails, a sight for jaded eyes
And the whiteness of their suits sets off the blackness of the lies we never hear

Well, if you give 'em all your money, they'll say "thanks" and call you "honey"
Tell you silver's the way to save your soul
If you're empty deep inside, they'll take you for a ride
And they'll charge you double just for pointing out the hole
Slick as Simple Simon in a coat of shining mail
With an attitude of innocence that never ever fails to leave you cold

Well, the next time you're in trouble when life's feelin' like a bubble
Gettin' bigger while your mind is gettin' small
Skip the flash and thunder, dial up your own number
See if you can answer your own call
The conversation's brutal, it's often pretty clear
It's brief and to the point and, if you stick it in your ear, you'll hear it all
You'll hear it all
