Angels on the sideline
Puzzled and amused,
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.
Don't these talking monkeys know
That Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys
Where there's one you're bound to divide it
Right in two.
Angels on the sideline
Baffled and confused,
Father blessed them all with reason
And this is what they choose
And this is what they choose...?
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground,
Silly monkeys give them thumbs
They forge a blade.
And where there's one
They're bound to divide it
Right in two,
Right in two.
Monkey's killing monkey's
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs
They make a club
And beat their brother down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery
Repugnant is a creature
Who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.
Cut it all right in two
Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over prayer,
Overhead and light
Fight over love, over sun,
Over another, Fight...
Angels on the sideline again
Benched along with patience and reason,
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end.
