Never Be Moved

I know we came here to get our good times on
Hold the whole world in our hand and greet the dawn with open arms
So make a contribution if you have been amused
But before we depart my brothers and sisters I have some heavy news

Oh how it breaks my heart this photograph
Several in the ministry practice a fuzzy math
And some of us wear the robes of the righteous
Are a little more next of kin
To the Sleestak, the wicked one who makes a meal of our sins

Ain’t no telling how much longer but we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling how much longer but we will never be moved

Woe be the architect of our city, cruel leveler, the hillock strangler
Bold pusher of the cold bone index
Through the knotted bowels of the old alleyways
Read the future a false haruspex
Recall how he coaxed us out of the green plains
All of us, dumb eyed at the sheer number. So long ago it does not matter
Woe be architect in his slumber, for the Watcher never sleeps
And on that day there will be rejoicing and dancing in the streets

Ain’t no telling how much longer but we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling how much longer but we will never be moved

Get your evolution on

Good St. Charles Darwin wrote that gospel down
So keep your eyes turned to the sky and your ears down to the ground

Get your evolution on

Ain’t no telling how much longer but we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling how much longer but we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling how much longer but we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling how much longer but we will never be moved
