Inspired by the story of the prodigal Son in the bible.
From eating fine food food a las pork Belly at his father’s house to eating with pigs.
Either diet home or away consisted of pigs; hence pork belly.
Pre-Verse:
Come home backslider
I don’t know why you’re hiding
Once over exciting
Now old and tired
But I know my Father
His arm’s open and inviting
You’ve outgrown your environment
But I don’t know why you’re hiding
Verse 1:
Takes you further than you've been
Staying longer than you planned
Now you take a look around you're in unfamiliar ground
You've fallen far from your decent
Last time was your last time
But you did it all again
Now you've turned into that someone
That if you had a son or daughter; you defo wouldn't recommend...
Pre-Chorus:
Now!!! I've been through the same so pipe down. Pipe down!
For the swine I exchanged my crown
And I never thought I'll make it out....
Yeah, yep yep....
Chorus:
It’ not always Gold; just cos it glows and glitters
Just cos it glows and glitters
It’s not always Gold; just cos it glows and glitters
Just cos it glows and glitters
Verse 2:
Lucy's prowling like roaring lion what we do is hide
Wolf in sheep's clothing I see through his hide
You made a vow; simple, things you denounced you're now into
You're never far from a lion when you're full of pride
Kill the flesh and let the spirit grow like it's do or die
You lost the spirit and your faith I guess the duo died
See God killed his son just for you and I
But when He returns he'll Sue a side (suicide)
It's easy sounding like a broken record when you see the mess
Legions repossess when we flee the nest
When you hit the crossroads know the cross is here
His Blood obscures all your worst; when you're worst for wear
I know you're apprehensive of the walk of shame
Would you rather a wretches walk or the scorchers flame?
Hit the yard; even if it's jamming with kitchen staff
Cos all that grovelling with pork is lame
Outro:
Just because it glows and always glitters yeah...
