*Slow Teeth cover*

lyrics

The Sheep Look Up

your lovely children need their medicine
to seal up the cracks that let the devil in
your thirsty lawn it needs some watering
your shiny car it needs some gasoline
snap your fingers someone shines your shoes
got your briefcase full of cocaine and booze
you kings of thieves have got the most to lose
a tie like that will make a lovely noose

the sea is splitting open, babylon is sinking,
so drop anchor and wait for the flood
the sky is raining ashes, babylon is burning,
our hearts ablaze with terror and delight
the earth is tearing open, babylon is falling in,
we dance like ghosts along the jagged cliff
a storm is coming, omens sound from all directions,
so gather with the ones you love

no water you can drink, no air that you can breath
the stores are full of poison food that you can't eat
you're living scared of all the people on the street
your life is wrapped in plastic, buried in concrete
you dam the rivers, flood the desert, burn the trees
you kill what you can't tame, enslave what you can't eat
we'll kick and bite and spit as long as we still breath
our joy's a weapon, with these fires it is free
