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
