Everybody's got their own part to play

You ought to know by now
Nobody's coming to make a sound
You take the fork to your mouth
Have no shame
Try to contain

What's it like
What's it like
When everybody says you ain't trying

What's it like
What's it like
When everybody says you ain't even trying

Oh, the faithful heart
Is when we start
With these trying things

Should have known better
To ask for something
You wouldn't give
You take the words from your mouth
And nobody knows what the truth is

So what's the point
What's the point
When everybody else ain't even trying
What's the point, what's the point
When everybody else ain't even trying

Oh, the faithful heart
Is when we start
With these trying things

Oh, everybody's got their own part in their own play
And I wish I could pour some salt on this tepid rain

But oh, the faithful heart
Is when we start
With these trying things
