lyrics
MESSIAH - Words by Nate Butler, music by Tom Magill. Lead vocal by Tom Magill.
There is someone in the way, long of hair and eyes of grey
Make a path and clear the way along
Everybody's gonna wait, just to see how long it takes
His disciples put me down: "You won't amount to anything,
No, we don't want your kind in town
For only we can know a king"
Well, that's the way they make it sound
Everybody's own messiah has another point of view
Everybody's gonna die and when they leave they take a part of you
Have we all descended from a couple naked, blind, and dumb
To want to learn and rise above it all?
And if magic is the devil's work, then did he create the earth?
Asked it once and all I heard: "You won't amount to anything,
No, we don't want your kind in town;
For only we can know a king.
Your open mind, we'll close it down," and
Everybody's own messiah has another point of view
Everybody's gonna die and when they leave they take a part of
Everybody's own messiah has another point of view
Everybody's gonna die and I believe they take a part of you
