The Beekeeper |
| Here comes the beekeeper |
| With her pitcher full of smoke |
| She’ll put us all to sleep |
| I hope it’s dreamless and it’s deep |
| Sweet Prometheus, come home |
| They took away our fire |
| And all that this scarcity promotes |
| Is desperate men and tyrants |
| What fine design |
| What hands |
| What minds |
| The envy of Eden |
| Our tools and our reason |
| It’s clear in the animals' eyes |
| We stand |
| Upright |
| Build fires |
| At night |
| Made on the sixth day |
| To rest on the seventh |
| And now we just try to survive |
| The surgeon and farmer meet |
| And each greets the other with a bow |
| They’re kindred instruments, you know |
| The scalpel and the plow |
| In the shadow of the mountain |
| We work when work abounds |
| And we wear out all our prayers |
| When the work runs out |
| What fine design |
| What hands |
| What minds |
| The envy of Eden |
| Our tools and our reason |
| It’s clear in the animals' eyes |
| We stand |
| Upright |
| Build fires |
| At night |
| Made on the sixth day |
| To rest on the seventh |
| And now we just try to survive |
