Billy Bragg
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Crowds gather 'round kneeling
2
At the feet of common thieves
3
Hungry for the word but God
4
Would never speak through such as these
5
Such as these
6
Who offer healing hands and balms
7
And redemption, a few would cross their palms
8
They'll tell your troubles to the Lord
9
For how ever much you can afford
10
Hands holding hands
11
In the circle of the sinners and the saints
12
Memories that linger from the cradle
13
Placing puzzles in the grave
14
In the grave
15
No mortal skin and bone
16
Can live on bread and circuses alone
17
The spirit needs must drive
18
The mystery of why you're alive
19
They look in their Book and they read
20
But their cold hearts say, "Follow me"
21
Dance in the dust
22
In the frenzy of the desperately in need
23
Led by the voices of the men who invoke
24
Ritual to hide their greed
25
Hide their greed
26
Come every tongue, every eye across
27
The crumbling earth and cracking skies
28
The gates of hell stand open wide
29
But the path of glory you walk single file
30
They look in their book and they read
31
But their cold hearts say, "Follow me"
32
These men make a cage for the very souls
33
That came here to be freed
34
They turn off their lights for their tents
35
They're fixing to leave
36
They look in their Book and they read
37
But their cold hearts say, "Follow me"
38
They'll close all their Books and they'll leave
39
Their cold hearts say, "Follow me"
40
They'll close their Book and leave
41
They'll close up their Books and leave
42
You remain still in pain
