The jerking current is far too strong
It pushes undesired actions along
Its persuasions echo every day
Its tiny whispers don't fade away
The jerking current is far too strong
It knows I'll just go right along
The temptations never seem to seize
Recognized but startling like a sneeze
The jerking current is far too strong
Things seem so right yet are so wrong
They compel with complete force over me
They blind my vision so I cannot see
The jerking current is far too strong
It knows I'll just go right along
I hate myself for always giving in
To the trouble and grief and wretched sin
But the jerking current is far too strong
And all I want is to feel like I belong
