lyrics

If the garden’s so perfect why does god need this barbed wire fence?
Is he keeping out danger or is he trying to keep me locked in?
All the angels don’t answer. They change the subject every time.
Do you like milk and honey? We’ve got burgers and fluorescent drinks.

Protection, protection

Be a fence all around me. That’s the hymn that the church people humm.
They ask god for protection. What is god protecting us from?
It’s just like a vase begging to be knocked off a shelf.
Is it meant to be broken? I’m incomplete, god’s obsolete.

(I wonder if I’m crazy, I wonder if I’m real.
Nobody’s gonna save me, I gotta take that pill.
The shadow not the substance, I wonder how life feels.
Should I leave and live in danger, or deal with your protection?)

Protection, protection

possession is love
compulsion is freedom
entrapment is safety
your prison is pretty

YOU CAN PLAY god BUT YOU'RE NOT GOD!
