Prophet Or Profiteer Lyrics - Singles - Matt Caplan

I gaze at my reflection 

Try to find a funny thing to say 

Even though I do this every day 

Strike up a conversation 

Throw the good in with the evil that I find 

But that kind of shit can blow your mind 

Hey, you there in the mirror 

Don't you know His anger 

Comes rolling down like thunder 

Hey, you there in the mirror 

Don't you know the sadder 

Is oftentimes the wiser 

CHORUS 

And I should be boxing the devil 

But somehow I never seem to locate my gloves 

I bail whenever push comes to shove 

Oh, and all the wrongs I don't right 

Just to curb this fucking appetite 

The question is clear: 

Will I be a prophet or a profiteer? 

Now I'm gazing out my window 

Try to translate all the neon light 

Into something I can read or write 

All of the words blur like mirages 

In a desert of electric misery 

And it'll stop my ( ) eventually 

Hey, you there in the mirror 

Don't you start that fire 

With the Almighty ( ) 

Hey, you there in the mirror 

Don't you know the answer 

Is right around the corner 

CHORUS 

And the root of all that's evil 

Grows deeper than this land 

Upon which stupidly I stand 

Accepting all I'm fed 

All the lies until I'm dead 

Till my ship comes rolling in 

Hey, you there in the mirror 

Why don't you drop that anchor 

You're mighty close to harbor 

Hey, you there in the mirror 

Come back to me up yonder 

Why don't you just surrender 

CHORUS
