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?
playing in this holy garden, silly old monkeys
well there's one who's 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
monkey killing monkey killing monkey
over pieces of the ground
silly monkeys given thumbs
they forge a blade
and then theres one bound to divide it
right in two
right in two
monkey killing monkey killing monkey
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, dismal creature who would squander
the ability to live, to die, and have a conscience
brothers sleep inside here
cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two
fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
fight over life, over blood, over air
fight over love, over sun, over another
fight each other, over
angels on the sideline again
been so long with patience and reason
angels on the sideline again
wondering when this tug of war will end
cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two
right in two
right in two
I absolutely love this song. I saw them perform it live in Vancouver this past summer and it was incredible. The lyrics are absolutely incredible; some of the best I've heard in a very long time. I love music soooo much and on top of the melodies and such, lyrics are so important to me. When a song has meaningful lyrics, it just takes a much higher standing in my book of favourites
rhythm
melody
instruments
lyrics
vocal "repugnant, dismal creature who would squander
the ability to live, to die, and have a conscience"
is wrong
"Repugnant is a creature who would squander
the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here"
is whats hes saying, i like how whoever posted the lyrics just ignored the "of his fleeting time here" cause it didnt fit in with his/her lyrics
Thats usually an indication that your wrong
Oh and kyle if you dont wanna hear someones idea about a song then dont fuckin read their review you idiot
