lyrics

a bird without a song
a man without a name
he'll come to you like he came to me
and this is what he'll say

"the good work of the lord, you can question if you dare, but that aint gona get you anywhere..."

it's curtains for you kid
so long
you had the brains, but not the brawn
the right words, to the wrong song
and now it's time for you to go
to that place you've dared not go
you can mark it by the crying of the crow
oh the things, that you wish you had known

she, was the one
who begot
an only son
he divided the nations
boiled the sea
turned the world against you and me

the good lord said, with all his wisdom, "this is what i will do, i'm gona make a believer out of you..."
