There is a good old boy in the valley |
|
On the other side of the hill |
|
There is a good old man in the canyon |
|
On the other side of the hill |
|
It took a thousand years to remember |
|
Another thousand years to forget |
|
The coming of the Messiah |
|
The most famous preacher yet |
|
There is an easy way to the green field |
|
Where the air blows warm and clear |
|
There is an easy route to the meadow |
|
Where there is no hate there is no fear |
|
You've got to get down under the water |
|
Or throw yourself in the road |
|
And if you're lucky you won't hit the fire |
|
You can settle down your load |
|
Watch the pieces fit together |
|
That's the way we are |
|
You are the hero I am a coward |
|
You will be the star |
|
If I tell you how to fight |
|
You can easy win |
|
Man is here to fight mankind |
|
Man is here to sin |
|
Will you take a little share of my hunger |
|
I'm sure you'll patronise a starving man |
|
Or will you take a little piece of the famine |
|
In a far off Eastern land |
|
No I don't show no respect for your feelings |
|
I don't give a shit for your smile |
|
When there's a good old boy in the valley |
|
Got religion twentieth century style |
