They took the shrine to the temple,
|
But he wasn't there.
|
They checked the mosque and the chapel,
|
No, not there.
|
|
Since you've been away on holiday,
|
The natives are all nightmares.
|
Since you've been away on holiday,
|
I did dream you'd disappear.
|
|
You keep us on a leash we can't conceive,
|
But still must adhere to.
|
|
The natives are whipping each other,
|
Over which god they prefer.
|
I wish you'd do us all a favor,
|
And just defer
|
|
Since you've been away on holiday,
|
We don't know which god is which.
|
And since you've been on holiday,
|
It's been harder to give a shit.
|
|
So if you stayed away on holiday,
|
We could get on with this.
|
I mean we could evolve like this,
|
If you'd just call it quits.
|
|
Since you've been away on holiday,
|
We've stomached your archaic rule.
|
And Since you've been away on holiday,
|
We've hosted some wars over you.
|
|
So stay away on holiday - my friend,
|
We don't need your services;
|
Your excuses --
|
Your mysterious ways
|
|
What a mysterious way to behave.
|
What a mysterious way to just go away.
|
|
Lord let us go! <i>[x16]
