Someone You Can Use

[Verse 1]
There's a prophet on my back
And he's meting out a thwack
As he spews a deranged smell
I'm a donkey that couldn't talk
Until he made me walk against an angel

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got every reason to lose
Please make me someone you can use

[Verse 2]
I'm a prophet on a saddle
And I'm losing every battle
That I wage in my own power
If your word is between our teeth
Then a sword escapes its sheath
Like a field that rides its plower

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got every reason to lose
Please make me someone you can use

[Non-Lyrical Break]

[Bridge]
Help us lead a faithful life
Illumined by the light
Of God, our Savior
With supplication, prayers
And the numbering of hairs
Despite our behavior

[Chorus]
Oh, we have every reason to lose
Please make us someone you can use
