The Greener Pasture

The greener pasture is also fenced in
The fuller trough has an asterisk
Rotate the herd every few days
Or is it every few years?
We got their tags on our ears
Standing in shit, crying bovine tears

Won't go hungry on the farmer's grain
McDonald touched the bailiff's bible with an invisible hand
He gave the judge a wink and then he sat in the witness stand
He said, "Nothing's out of sight, nothing's out of mind
The farm and factories are mine, you'll find
Abide by each law that applies
I'm God-fearing and lawful, you can't vilify me
I know the law, I wrote it to a T
I'm on the ALEC, I'm under PAC
I make tithes and get mine from whatever candidate leads
I'm playing for keeps here"

I'm caught between memory and the yet to be
I've yet to see a single thing to stop the world from spinning
I'm caught between memory and the yet to be
I've yet to see a single thing to stop the world from spinning
Won't go hungry on the farmer's grain
Won't go hungry on the farmer's grain

Know in the eyes, know in the mind
As you recline, stabbed from behind
Fenced in but fed, smack to survive
Stomach space for everything
Wars, prisons, refugees

Ayy, I can't get away from this fate
Every day, promise of a brand new game
Oh, ayy, I can't get away from this fate
Oh, every day, promise of a brand new game
Oh
