A no-good | |
Shepard 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 though 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. | |
Down to Earth. |
