Jesus called, he won't be coming for dinner tonight
|
Democracy cancelled out, some kind of fight
|
So tell me how am I supposed to eat alone?
|
When all of my butlers have gone, my nannies have gone
|
|
On the morning of my birth
|
I must have wondered at the Earth
|
I must have seen the trees like Adam showed them to Eve
|
|
But now I am American and white
|
All I know is anxiety and fright
|
Now love is something I must search for to find
|
|
Jesus called, he won't be coming for dinner love
|
Democracy cancelled out for the final time
|
I'm beggin' brothers and sisters cut your leashes free now
|
We were born branded, we were born branded, we were born branded
|
We were born second-handed down
|
|
The shephard is in a field of reality
|
Blames the sheep for lost possibilities
|
The sheep may be lost but the shephard is just as lost
|
|
A shephard is a man afraid of
|
Losing all the things he made up to
|
Keep his feet planted high above the field
|
|
And I'm talkin' about mother, father, sister, brother
|
Teacher, preacher, anyone who dares to tell you where to stand
|
I say the love is in your hands
|
Just look at the world, don't try to understand
|
|
We were born branded, second-handed down
|
We were born branded, second-handed down
|
