Todd Snider

Mission Accomplished (Because You Gotta Have Faith)

Will Rogers said he never met a man he didn't like

Wait, let me back up and make sure I got that right

He might have liked every man he ever met, that's true

But he never said he liked every man that he knew

I met a woman with a Midas touch

I could never get her to touch very much

I met a man of opportunity

He never offered any of it up to me

I met a soldier in a recruit booth

Said he'd make a man out of me and stole my youth

Working for a man who could not stop lying

Drove us all off a cliff and called it flying, that ain't flying

Most men flying seem to understand

That a man hasn't technically flown 'til he lands

If you're coming in to land and you crash and die

All you really did for sure was get too high

You ever get too high? No, neither have I

But I will, if I have to, to prove to you guys

I'm so turned around I could calm up a riot

Fighting for peace, that's like screaming for quiet

I don't know but I've been told

Might meet a little fox in an atheist hole

I don't know what I've been told

I don't know what I've been told

I don't know what I've been told

I don't know for sure, I've just been told
