  • You just want to live your life
    The best way you know how
    But they keep on telling you
    That you are not allowed

    They say you are sick
    That you should hang your head in shame
    They are pointing fingers
    And want you to take the blame

    There are days when people are
    So nasty and convincing
    They say things beyond belief
    That sting and leave you wincing

    And to boot they say their words
    Come straight down from above
    And they really seem to think
    That what they're doing counts as love

    This pain it is a glacier moving through you
    And carving out deep valleys
    And creating spectacular landscapes
    And nourishing the ground
    With precious minerals and other stuff
    So don't you become paralyzed with fear
    When things seem particularly rough

    Don't you pay them fuckers as they say no never mind
    They don't give two shits about you, it's the blind leading the blind
    What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy
    And what that boils down to is referred as hypocrisy

    Don't listen to anyone, get answers on your own
    Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone
    No one on this planet can tell you what to believe
    People like to talk a lot and they like to deceive

    [Repeat x2]
    This pain it is a glacier moving through you
    And carving out deep valleys
    And creating spectacular landscapes
    And nourishing the ground
    With precious minerals and other stuff
    So don't you become paralyzed with fear
    When things seem particularly rough Writer/s: BIRGIR THORARINSSON, JOHN GRANT
