Indigo Girls - Philosophy Of Loss lyrics
Your rating:
Welcome to why the church has died In the heart of the exiled in the kingdom of hate Who owns the land & keeps the commands And marries itself to the state Modern scribes write in Jesus Christ Everyone is free And the doors open wide to all straight men & women But they are not open to me And who is teaching kids to be soldiers To be marked by a plain white cross And we kill just a little to save a lot more The philosophy of loss There are a few who would be true out of love And love is hard And don't think that our hands haven't shoveled the dirt Over their central American graveyards Doctors & witch hunters stripped you bare Left you nothing for your earthly sins Yeah but who made this noise just a bunch of boys And the one with the most toys wins Who is teaching kids to be gamblers Life is a coin toss And of course what you give up is what you gain The philosophy of loss Whatever has happened to anyone else Could happen to you & to me And the end of my youth was the possible truth That it all happens randomly Who is teaching kids to be leaders and the way that it is meant to be the philosophy of loss
