Animal Keeper Lyrics

Moving on - we're in another place now

I'm finding it hard to give

Why is it hard to give?

Move along - you're taking up my space now

You've made my brain like a sieve

Is this how I want to live?

But you can learn, you can fight with a will to survive, or you can follow on the path of your lifeblood, your peers, and your leaders

Like an animal keeper

Tearing down the preachers, Ah

Had enough of Jesus, Ah

Disappear into the ether, Yeah

Breaking out from the animal keepers

Like an animal keeper

Girl I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians

I'm taking my man for a drink - they're making it hard to think

They complain; "Control your kids, they're growing up to praise false idols," YES

Like John, Luke, and Mark weren't stars

Like Basilicas and Kirks weren't bars

But you can learn, you can fight with a will to survive, or you can follow on the path of your lifeblood, your peers, and your leaders

Like an animal keeper

Tearing down the preachers, Ah

Had enough of Jesus, Ah

Disappear into the ether, Yeah

Breaking out from the animal keepers

Like an animal keeper

Throwing your hands in the air

Acting like we really care

Taking them all for a fool

You fool everyone but not me

Tearing down the preachers, Ah

Had enough of Jesus, Ah

Disappear into the ether, Yeah

Breaking out from the animal keeper

Like an animal keeper
