Amen Lyrics

It's times like this it gets a little lonely, yeah
My bed's too big with no one there to hold me, yeah
Should I pray, should I pray and wait for you to save me? Ha
If I'm a fool, I'm only what you made me

So I get drunk with all my friends
Nothing else changes, nothing can
I ain't got no money inside these hands
No one else cares about your plans

I don't go to church but
Amen
Everybody hurts but
Amen
Living in the dirt but
Amen
'Cause nothing ever works like
Amen
Amen

I vote for change even though they warned me, yeah
So much to say but no one ever asks me
And all these pretty girls, pretty girls
They all look past me, yeah
If it's my life, how comes I'm in the back seat?

So I get drunk with all my friends
Nothing else changes, nothing can
I ain't got no money inside these hands
No one else cares about your plans

I don't go to church but
Amen
Everybody hurts but
Amen
Living in the dirt but
Amen
'Cause nothing ever works like
Amen
Amen

Say life was rough
I paid too much
I'm afraid that I don't
Pray enough
I rolled the stone
I was born again
I was white as snow
No one's innocent

I don't go to church but
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

I don't go to church but
Amen
Everybody hurts but
Amen
Living in the dirt but
Amen
'Cause nothing ever works like
Amen (amen)
Amen

What is the Meaning of Amen?

In the grand tradition of turning sorrow into song, our protagonist finds himself in a pickle. He's lonely, broke, overlooked by pretty girls, and feeling like life's backseat driver. Yet, he raises a toast to his woes with an ironic "Amen." Despite not being a church-goer, he acknowledges that everyone has their own struggles (hallelujah to universal suffering!). He's living in the dirt but still hopes for change - though nothing ever seems to work (can I get an Amen?). Grennan brilliantly captures the essence of life's contradictions and the human capacity for resilience amid hardship. So next time you're down in the dumps, just remember: misery loves company...and music! #LifeStruggles #Irony #Resilience #UniversalSuffering
