The Staggering Gods Lyrics

Music by Daniel Amos, Words by T.S. Taylor ©2001 Zoom Daddy/BMI The gods are staggering Across the earth in their chains The god's are dying Clutching at lost fortune and fame Chorus The feel good god And the lord of science Democracy's blind and Bewildered giants The hammer and the sickle And the modern appliance All the staggering gods The gods are stumbling Hopeless and sick unto death They're the ones we worship And they're gasping for their final breath Chorus Bridge: And here's the terrible noise That gives them away The thud of worn out shoes And cracking feet of clay We've heard the stammering words Of these dying kings And we shudder at the sound Of this fearsome things The gods are fumbling They're weak and they're ready to fall The gods are human Not one of them can help us at all Chorus
