| You can preach it, you can teach it | 
| Do you believe it? | 
| (Why do you believe?) | 
| You can preach it, you can teach it | 
| Do you believe it? | 
| (Whoo yeah) | 
| You can preach it, you can teach it | 
| Do you believe it? | 
| (Do you believe it?) | 
| You can preach it, you can teach it, oh (oh) | 
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa | 
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa | 
| I got my back up to the edge of the room | 
| You left me nowhere to hide | 
| Your words of venom spitting salt in my wounds | 
| 'Cause I’m paralyzed | 
| Whoa, whoa, whoa | 
| Feet in the clouds, my head on the ground | 
| (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) | 
| I’m begging you, please | 
| Just take me down to the river to drown | 
| You can preach it, and you can teach it | 
| But do you believe it? | 
| (Take me down to the river to drown) | 
| 'Cause you can preach it, and you can teach it | 
| But do you believe it? | 
| It’s getting clearer to me every day | 
| You leave the wake of destruction | 
| All this talk | 
| Is still gonna leave me with nothing | 
| Feet in the clouds, my head on the ground | 
| (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) | 
| I’m begging you, please | 
| Just take me down to the river to drown | 
| You can preach it, and you can teach it | 
| But do you believe it? |

| 'Cause you can preach it, and you can teach it | 
| But do you believe it? | 
| (Take me down to the river) | 
| You never think about the crazy things you always say | 
| I wonder if you even notice that you stand in my way | 
| Won’t feel when you figure it out | 
| Just take me down to the river to drown | 
| You can preach it, and you can teach it | 
| But do you believe it? |
