Roller
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I do one thing
With holy rollers
Give them wide berth
To wriggle on the earth
I do one thing
With space invaders
Give them the full sky
In which to fly
(Oh heaven it helps me)
Keep the tension small
(Oh heaven it helps me)
See over the wall
(Oh heaven it helps me)
Get me through it all
I do one thing
With rump rangers
I don't pay no mind
To what they do with their behinds
I do one thing
With NRA members
Try not to reprimand
When I pull the gun from their cold dead hands
(Oh heaven it helps me)
Keep the tension small
(Oh heaven it helps me)
See over the wall
(Oh heaven it helps me)
Cause you know I'm only just trying
To make it through
I do one thing
With friggin' foreigners
I try and understand
What they bring from their strange lands
I do one thing
With total strangers
Pray they're free from pain and strife
As they try to live their lives
(Oh heaven it helps me)
Keeps the tension small
(Oh heaven it helps me)
See over the wall
(Oh heaven it helps me)
Don't you know
I'm only just trying
To make it through
