Satisfied Man Songtext
von The Hillbilly Thomists

You can put it in a contract
Wrap it in a concept
You could put it in an advert
You could sing it with a rhyme
But if the law of the land don′t come from truth and love
With the blessing of the Dove
It's a waste of time

Your strange philosophies
Make for tragic cases
You′re living your life running round over empty places
Your mental fictions
Are all breaking down
Time to put your life back down on solid ground


Now in works and ways and sunny days
I'm doing the best that I can
With the help of the truth from the days of youth
I found how to take my stand
And I set out in the right direction
I'm clothed in the blood of the Lamb
And I′m passing my time
As a satisfied man
I′m passing my time
As a satisfied man

I was there at the bar
When she said these words
I think it's the strangest thing that I ever done heard
She said in this cold cold world
God was born in time
And it′s the living flame of love that satisfies

Now in works and ways and sunny days
I'm doing the best that I can
With the help of the truth from the days of youth
I found how to take my stand
And I set out in the right direction
I′m clothed in the blood of the Lamb
And I'm passing my time
As a satisfied man
I′m passing my time
As a satisfied man


We're a little bit of angel
We're a little bit of dust
We′re a little bit of cold hard fact
We′re a little bit of trust
We'll bring it all together
Make a song that rhymes
And we′ll sing it all together at the end of time

Now in works and ways and sunny days
I'm doing the best that I can
With the help of the truth from the days of youth
I found how to take my stand
And I set out in the right direction
I′m clothed in the blood of the Lamb
And I'm passing my time
As a satisfied man
Passing my time
As a satisfied man

Passing my time
As a satisfied man
I′m passing my time
As a satisfied man
