In a world of us and them It happens now and then That faith becomes a battle Between two cultured men

Father John was said to feel That only God was real Whereas Michael was a rebel An atheist with zeal

Both traveled overseas To lecture their beliefs And disparage the foundation of the others ideals A day was fixed upon To weigh the goings-on The saintly father John was saying

I've always been right The Word makes me strong Always been right And everyone else wrong

We've always been right To fight how we've fought Always been right And everyone else Has always been, always been wrong

And so the day turned into night The crowd had become wild No one knew the matter But they were eager to fight

Next morning when it cleared Old John had disappeared His brother found his bible But it was torn and smeared

And Michael was revived He spent the night inside The temple he had loathed and ridiculed all his life

And at the crack of dawn He knelt down by the throne Begging for the gods to listen

They've always been right To do what they've done Always been right And everyone else wrong

They've always been right To teach how they've taught Always been right And everyone else Has always been wrong

They've always been right
