SONG OF THE FISHER KING

Born on the blind side of midnight
Can’t bust these chains ‘round me
Twisted truth don't make wrong right
Can’t buy what’s for free
DNA string of lie on lie
A domino chain reaction
Lost generation born to try We get no satisfaction
Judas sits in the capitol tower
Lazarus weeps by the gates
Straw dog rulers of corporate power
Leave the people in dire straits
Page is turnin' to a great world war
They wrote it all down in the book
He's knockin' at the door with the cure
Best drink the water while it’s still in the brook

Listen to a good news tune
Listen to a song that plays for free
It requires no religion
No belief in Christianity
Listen to a good news tune
Changin’ losers into winners
Song of the fisher king
Friend of planet earth’s sinners

Listen to a good news tune
Listen close and you will hear it
The true God wants to forgive us
And fill us with love’s spirit
Listen to a good news tune
Only the truth can make us free
Song of the fisher king
Comin’ from the stars of eternity

Judas sits in the capitol tower
Lazarus weeps by the gates
Straw dog rulers of corporate power
Leave the people in dire straits
Page is turnin' to a great world war
They wrote it all down in the book
He's knockin' at the door with the cure
Best drink the water while it’s still in the brook
God asks only that we call on his name
They wrote it in the Bible book
He's knockin' at the door with the only cure
Drink the water while it’s still in the brook
While it's still in the brook
While it's still in the brook
