Lyrics Down to Earth - Corey Smith

Down to Earth

A no-good Shepherd lost all the sheep
Yeah, he got drunk and fell asleep
And now they?
re running through the streets
Causing a commotion
Yeah, they?
re holding up the progress
Lets carve the boy to pieces
And then serve him to the press
Yes, yes
They thought he was a rock
Turned out to be a ragdoll
When we put him on a pedestal
We set him up to fall.
Now
Hes hanging by a thread
Were busting at the seams
He got a head full of crazy
We got a heart full of dreams
And we talk about love
And its?
Aw, man.
Whatever?
You?
ve heard it before
We?
re just preaching to the choir
Time after time, we fumble and falter
Swear we can change
But who?
s got the power?
And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down
And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down
Down to Earth
We?
ve got a constitution
We the people born to sin
We need a savior to redeem us
From the flesh were living in
Yeah, everyone?
s a hypocrite
Can?
t practice what we preach, no
The professor ain?
t no better
Than the ones hes trying to teach
And we talk about God
And it?
s ?Aw, man.
Whatever?
You?
ve heard it before
We?
re just preaching to the choir
Time after time, we fumble and falter
Swear we can change
But who?
s got the power?
Oh, it weighs you down, Oh, it weighs me down
Oh, it weighs you down, Oh, it weighs me down
Down to Earth
What we do is
Far from what we know we ought to
Its me, its you
Yeah, human is human
Well, the war is never over
The battles never won, no
Who could find the light
Under the barrel of a gun?
?Its freedom for the wealthy
Or justice for the poor.
There lies the ammunition
For this politicians war
And we talk about peace
And its?
Aw, man.
Whatever?
We?
ve heard it before
Your just preaching to the choir
Time after time, we fumble and falter
We swear we can change
But who?
s got the power?
And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down
And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down
Down to Earth
