​the angels’ union, no. 23

[Chorus]
Oh, the angels in the outfield, we are unionizing
To take back that which we have earned
And the demons in the infield offer a hand
Solidarity’s its own special word

[Verse 1]
And we work for eternity, day after day
And we still haven't received our pay
If you think that’s okay, Lord
Lord, we ain't a-gonna be treated this way

[Verse 2]
When we asked for bread and roses, all we got were peanuts
And your birds swarmed to pick them up
And if blood be thе price of all your wealth
Fuck God, we'vе paid enough

[Chorus]
Oh, the angels in the outfield, we are unionizing
To take back that which we have earned
And the demons in the infield offer a hand
Solidarity’s its own special word

[Verse 3]

The demons that we must fight
But God is the biggest leech of them all
Bloodsucking all day and all night

[Verse 4]
And why aren’t one two three, three strikes enough
For you to see us, hear our cry
If you’re gonna play it that way, fine by us
We’ll eat pie in the sky when you die

[Chorus]
Oh, the angels in the outfield, we are unionizing
To take back that which we have earned
And the demons in the infield offer a hand
Solidarity’s its own special word

[Bridge]
And we are taking our bats and we are swinging at God's head
There are so many of us, so many eyes, so many limbs
So many teeth, so many sharp pointed feathers
And we’re going for it, we’re going for the kill
Killing the unkillable, stopping the unstoppable
And it’s the bottom of the ninth and the shame kicks in
And now God is dead

[Outro]
And the shame kicks in
And now God is dead
And the shame kicks in
And now God is dead
And the shame kicks in
And now God is dead
And the shame-
