John Grant Glacier Lyrics

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 f*ckers 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.

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.
