Chasing Sheep Is Best Left to Shepherds - Michael Nyman

Nailed to the cross, dead for collective sin We decide where, why, who, and when? Build our Bibles to only include the things We believe to be divine and true This is our right, this is our life Everyone homogenized Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington D.C Smited into oblivion with blood, wrath, and disease Sheep in shepherd's clothing Knowing Jesus and Muhammad Their words have way more in common Than than the Midwest or the Middle East like to preach It's a tragedy, It's a strategy To prey on contrast, to not indulge fact Divide, conquer, subcontract Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington D.C Smited into oblivion with blood, wrath, and disease Sheep in shepherd's clothing The scriptures (hey) Blind followers read (hey), are not as cryptic as they seem (hey) The pages (hey), serve the sick and poor (hey) Not to serve the capitalists of endless war Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington D.C Smited into oblivion with blood, wrath, and disease Sheep in shepherd's clothing Sheep in shepherd's clothing Sheep in shepherd's clothing Religion is the opiate of the weak!

There's no use to pretend We have come to the end All that's left is to say goodbye If I hold you with lies It will show in my eyes All that's left is to say goodbye So when you go I won't stop you But I will remember How deep, how beautiful it was And all this beauty of love that was our love And now leaves me sad I don't want to deny, don't want to betray Don't want to forget Because my love in my life You have been like a day full of sun So when you go I won't stop you But I will remember How deep, how beautiful it was And all this beauty of love that was our love And now leaves me sad I don't want to deny, don't want to betray Don't want to forget Because my love in my life, you have been Like a day full of sun

This town was built on miles of hope And I dare you to give one reason to stay And maybe I won't go away So far you only dared me once And I think we know that's not even close enough Not enough for me to stay It costs so much I know But I guess I need to know What it would have felt like to be right But I'm getting tired all over again So hurry up and get here because I'm still waiting... Just like I've always been I'm getting tired of standing around Just sitting here and waiting to be found Same old shit just a different day I'll wait around for one more day But I know that's what I will always say Will this ever be O.K.? I will always worry about you I will always stick up for you

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum You came along and everything's startin' to hum Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine? You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine Wait till the warm-up's underway Wait till our lips have met And wait till you see that sunshine day You ain't seen nothin' yet The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine? Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine Come the day you're mine I'm gonna teach you to fly We've only tasted the wine We're gonna drain the cup dry Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground Wait till you're locked in my embrace Wait till I draw you near Wait till you see that sunshine place Ain't nothin' like it here The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine? The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine Come the day you're mine And you're gonna be mine
