Holy Fool's Lullaby

Well I could drink myself to sleep
but what's the use in countin' sheep
if the wool that keeps you warm cannot be found?
Well the Lamb of God they say
way back in them Bible days
was quickly curtly run right out of town.

I know it's a dead man's walk I pace
and if the whole damn human race
decided they would crawl, I might catch up.
But there's nothing that I find
with my simple country mind
in all this so-called Progress that measures up.

They've put monkeys into space
and projected man's disgrace
onto every television on the earth.
But there's nothing there, I guess
in this whole postmodern mess
that seems to me to have a lot of worth.

We've got cellphone towers for trees
and we connect at such high speeds
but still I feel alone and without shade.
You could promise me the moon
but I guess I'd just as soon
that the moon just stay where it was made.
