(Antichrist Television Blues) |
| Don’t wanna work in a building downtown |
| No, I don’t wanna work in a building downtown |
| I don’t know what I’m gonna do |
| Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two |
| Don’t wanna work in a building downtown |
| No, I don’t wanna see it when the planes hit the ground |
| Don’t wanna work in a building downtown |
| Don’t wanna work in a building downtown |
| Parkin' the cars in the underground |
| The voices when they scream, well they make no sound |
| Wanna see the cities rust |
| And the troublemakers ridin' on the back of the bus |
| Dear God, I’m a good Christian man |
| I’m your boy, i know you understand |
| That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid |
| The girl’s thirteen, but she don’t act her age |
| She can sing like a bird in cage |
| Oh Lord, if you could see her when she’s up on that stage |
| You know that I’m a god-fearin' man |
| You know that I’m a god-fearin' man |
| I just gotta know if it’s a part of your plan |
| To see my darling stand by your right hand |
| I know you will do what’s right, Lord |
| For they are the lanterns and you are the light |
| Now I’m overcome |
| By the light of day |
| My lips are near |
| But my heart is far away |
| Tell me what to say |
| I’ll be your mouthpiece |
| Into the light of a bridge that burns |
| As I drive through the city with the money that I earn |
| To the dark of a starless sky |
| I won’t stare into nothing and I’m asking you why |
| Lord, let me make her a star |
| So the world can see who you really are |
| Little girl, you’re old enough to understand |
| You’ll always be a stranger in a strange strange land |
| Men are gonna come while you’re fast asleep |
| So you better just stay close and hold onto me |
| If mama’s mockingbird don’t sing well, |
| Then daddy won’t buy her no diamond ring |
| Dear God, will you send me a child? |
| Oh God, will you send me a child? |
| 'cause I wanna put it up on the tv screen |
| So the world can see what your true Word means |
| Lord, won’t you send me a sign? |
| 'cause i just gotta know if I’m wastin' my time |
| Now I’m overcome |
| By the light of day |
| My lips are near |
| But my heart is far away |
| But now the war is won |
| How come nothing tastes good? |
| Oh you’re such a sensitive child (sensitive child) |
| You know you’re such a sensitive child |
| I know you’re tired, but it’s all right |
| I just needed you to sing for me tonight |
| You’re gonna have your day in the sun |
| You know God loves the sensitive ones |
| Oh my little girl in a cage |
| Oh my little bird in a cage |
| I need you to get up for me up on that stage |
| Show all the men that you’re old for your age |
| Now in the times of fear |
| But if you don’t take it, it’ll disappear |
| Oh my little mockingbird sing |
| Come on, my little mockingbird sing |
| I need you to get up on the stage for me, honey |
| Show the men it’s not about the money |
| Want to hold a mirror up to the world |
| So that they can see themselves inside my little girl |
| Do you know where i was at your age? |
| Any idea where i was at your age? |
| I was workin' downtown for the minimum wage! |
| And I couldn’t let you just throw it all away |
| Threw me a kid, God, throw me a knife |
| So tell me Lord am I the Antichrist? |
