Every Sacred Thing Lyrics

Flash of the breast
On the big screen
But no penetration or spark

Cut the claw from the tiger
De-fang the cobra
So we can feel safe in the dark

Big money makes the decisions
Big money owns all the gods
And I can't help but laugh
At the puzzled expression
When I say I won't give to the cause

Ad is it wonder
Something inside us die

Is it any wonder
That the spirit cries

When we sterilize
Every sacred thing

Paved over meadows for strip malls
Or misguided notions of bliss
And I point to the universe
Shaking their shoulders saying, How can you need more than this?

Five thousand years of repression
Five thousand years of the lie
And I can't help but hoping
As I'm watching the changes
That maybe we're watching it die

Maybe a hurricane is coming
Or maybe it's just a soft rain
And I don't have the answers
But every part of my being
Is laughing or crying or screaming for change

And is it wonder
That the spirit cries

Is it any wonder
Something inside us dies

When we sanitize
Every sacred thing

Every sacred thing x6
