The following are the lyrics from a song called “Cold Cash and Colder Hearts” that was written by the band Thrice.
I feel like we, as a nation, and especially as those of us who identify as Christians, could do well to remember the ideas and thoughts put forth in these lyrics. American Christians have gotten too comfortable. We are quick to judge, and slow to love. Quick to put our needs first, and slow to address the needs of others. I pray that, with God’s help, we would all seek to grow as Christians.
Cold Cash and Colder Hearts
By,
THRICE
They are sick, they are poor
And they die by the thousands and we look away
They are wolves at the door
And they’re not gonna move us or get in our way
‘Cause we don’t have the time
Here at the top of the world
Feeling alright
Here at the top of the world
We hold our own by keeping our hearts cold
Different god, darker skin
They are just not a burden that we’d like to bear
They are living in “sin”
There are so many reasons for us not to care
But I’m feeling alright
Here at the top of the world
Doing just fine
Here at the top of the world
We’ve learned money matters most
So we keep our cards held close
Here at the top of the world
We hold our own by keeping our hearts cold
And we’ve learned what matters most
So we keep our hearts cold
They are no one
They are nowhere
They are not our problem
Not worth saving
Nonexistent if we keep our hearts cold
They are no one
They are nowhere
