The Garden Songtext
I doubt the jerks are going anywhere
It′s not enough that all your friends pretend to care
And I don't think that anything would change
Just because your cousin has something to say
On my way to work I pass the mob and go berserk
Hold my good foot out, one by one the signs go down
Speech is free, but that don′t mean we are free from consequence
If they're gonna line the sidewalks
And threaten the innocent with lies
Then they're gonna hear a crowd of voices rise
They′re never giving up what they′re guarding
Their hearts are so hardened
They're never gonna get to the garden, back to the garden
A fable always sugarcoats a lie
They′ll tell you that they wouldn't hurt a butterfly
And claim to act on someone else′s love
Without any of their own they play police and judge
When I was a boy, I was told the greatest joy
Was to join the feast of the lord with all his sheep
Who feels that he's so entitled, and he′s building a wall
And firing out at anyone who doesn't bow
He's never giving up what he′s guarding
His heart is so hardened
He′s never gonna get to the garden, back to the garden
They're never giving up what they′re guarding
Their hearts are so hardened
They're never gonna get to the garden, back to the garden
It′s not enough that all your friends pretend to care
And I don't think that anything would change
Just because your cousin has something to say
On my way to work I pass the mob and go berserk
Hold my good foot out, one by one the signs go down
Speech is free, but that don′t mean we are free from consequence
If they're gonna line the sidewalks
And threaten the innocent with lies
Then they're gonna hear a crowd of voices rise
They′re never giving up what they′re guarding
Their hearts are so hardened
They're never gonna get to the garden, back to the garden
A fable always sugarcoats a lie
They′ll tell you that they wouldn't hurt a butterfly
And claim to act on someone else′s love
Without any of their own they play police and judge
When I was a boy, I was told the greatest joy
Was to join the feast of the lord with all his sheep
Who feels that he's so entitled, and he′s building a wall
And firing out at anyone who doesn't bow
He's never giving up what he′s guarding
His heart is so hardened
He′s never gonna get to the garden, back to the garden
They're never giving up what they′re guarding
Their hearts are so hardened
They're never gonna get to the garden, back to the garden
