Corey Smith - Down To Earth Lyrics
A no-good Shepherd lost all the sheep,Yeah, he got drunk and fell asleepAnd now they’re running through the streets.Causing a commotion,Yeah, they’re holding up the progress.Lets carve the boy to piecesAnd then serve him to the press.Yes, yes.They thought he was a rock,Turned out to be a ragdoll.When we put him on a pedestal,We set him up to fall. Now,Hes hanging by a thread,Were busting at the seamsHe got a head full of crazy,We got a heart full of dreams.And we talk about loveAnd its ‘Aw, man. Whatever’You’ve heard it before,We’re just preaching to the choir.Time after time, we fumble and falter.Swear we can change,But who’s got the power?And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down.And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down,Down to Earth.We’ve got a constitution,We the people born to sin.We need a savior to redeem usFrom the flesh were living in.Yeah, everyone’s a hypocrite,Can’t practice what we preach, no.The professor ain’t no betterThan the ones hes trying to teach.And we talk about GodAnd it’s ‘Aw, man. Whatever’You’ve heard it before,We’re just preaching to the choir.Time after time, we fumble and falter.Swear we can change,But who’s got the power?Oh, it weighs you down, Oh, it weighs me down.Oh, it weighs you down, Oh, it weighs me down,Down to Earth.What we do is,Far from what we know we ought to.Its me, its you.Yeah, human is human.Well, the war is never over,The battles never won, no.Who could find the lightUnder the barrel of a gun?“Its freedom for the wealthy,Or justice for the poor.”There lies the ammunitionFor this politicians war.And we talk about peaceAnd its ‘Aw, man. Whatever’We’ve heard it before,Your just preaching to the choir.Time after time, we fumble and falter.We swear we can change,But who’s got the power?And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down.And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down,Down to Earth.Down to Earth.
