Antichrist Television Blues lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Antichrist Television Blues lyrics I don t wanna work in a building downtown No I don t wanna work in a building downtown I don t know what I m gonna do Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two I don t wanna work in a building downtown No I don t wanna see when the planes hit the ground I don t wanna work in a building downtown I don t wanna work in a building downtown Parking their cars in the underground Their voices when they scream, well they make no sound I wanna see the cities rust And the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus Dear God, I m a good Christian man In your glory, I know you understand That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid My girl s 13 but she don t act her age She can sing like a bird in a cage O Lord, if you could see her when she s up on that stage! You know that I m a God-fearing man You know that I m a God-fearing man But I just gotta know if it s part of your plan To seat my daughters there by your right hand I know that you ll do what s right, Lord For they are the lanterns and you are the light Now I m overcome By the light of day My lips are near but my heart is far away Tell me what to say I ll be your mouthpiece! Into the light of a bridge that burns As I drive from the city with the money that I earned Into the black of a starless sky I m staring into nothing and I m asking you why Lord, will you make her a star So the world can see who you really are? Little girl, you re old enough to understand That you ll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land The men are gonna come when you re fast asleep So you better just stay close and hold onto me If my little mocking bird don t sing Then daddy won t buy her no diamond ring Dear God, would you send me a child? Oh! God, would you send me a child Cause I wanna put it up on the TV screen So the world can see what your true word means Lord, would you send me a sign Cause I just gotta know if I m wasting my time! Now I m overcome By the light of day My lips are near but my heart is far away Now the war is won How come nothing tastes good? You re such a sensitive child! Oh! You re such a sensitive child! I know you re tired but it s alright I just need you to sing for me tonight You re gonna have your day in the sun You know God loves the sensitive ones Oh! My little bird in a cage! Oh! My little bird in a cage! I need you to get up for me, up on that stage And show the men that you re old for your age Now ain t the time for fear But if you don t take it, it ll disappear! Oh! My little mocking bird sing! Oh! My little mocking bird sing! I need you to get up on that stage for me, honey And show the men it s not about the money Wanna hold a mirror up to the world So that they can see themselves inside my little girl! Do you know where I was at your age? Any idea where I was at your age? I was working downtown for the minimum wage And I m not gonna let you just throw it all away! I m through being cute, I m through being nice O tell me, Lord, am I the Antichrist?! song lyrics
