George Barnett Animal Keeper Lyrics
Animal Keeper by George Barnett
Moving on - we're in another place now
I'm finding it hard to give
Why is it hard to give?
Move along - you're taking up my space now
You've made my brain like a sieve
Is this how I want to live?
But you can learn, you can fight with a will to survive, or you can follow on the path of your lifeblood, your peers, and your leaders
Like an animal keeper
Tearing down the preachers, Ah
Had enough of Jesus, Ah
Disappear into the ether, Yeah
Breaking out from the animal keepers
Like an animal keeper
Girl I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians
I'm taking my man for a drink - they're making it hard to think
They complain; "Control your kids, they're growing up to praise false idols," YES
Like John, Luke, and Mark weren't stars
Like Basilicas and Kirks weren't bars
But you can learn, you can fight with a will to survive, or you can follow on the path of your lifeblood, your peers, and your leaders
Like an animal keeper
Tearing down the preachers, Ah
Had enough of Jesus, Ah
Disappear into the ether, Yeah
Breaking out from the animal keepers
Like an animal keeper
Throwing your hands in the air
Acting like we really care
Taking them all for a fool
You fool everyone but not me
Tearing down the preachers, Ah
Had enough of Jesus, Ah
Disappear into the ether, Yeah
Breaking out from the animal keeper
Like an animal keeper
I'm finding it hard to give
Why is it hard to give?
Move along - you're taking up my space now
You've made my brain like a sieve
Is this how I want to live?
But you can learn, you can fight with a will to survive, or you can follow on the path of your lifeblood, your peers, and your leaders
Like an animal keeper
Tearing down the preachers, Ah
Had enough of Jesus, Ah
Disappear into the ether, Yeah
Breaking out from the animal keepers
Like an animal keeper
Girl I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians
I'm taking my man for a drink - they're making it hard to think
They complain; "Control your kids, they're growing up to praise false idols," YES
Like John, Luke, and Mark weren't stars
Like Basilicas and Kirks weren't bars
But you can learn, you can fight with a will to survive, or you can follow on the path of your lifeblood, your peers, and your leaders
Like an animal keeper
Tearing down the preachers, Ah
Had enough of Jesus, Ah
Disappear into the ether, Yeah
Breaking out from the animal keepers
Like an animal keeper
Throwing your hands in the air
Acting like we really care
Taking them all for a fool
You fool everyone but not me
Tearing down the preachers, Ah
Had enough of Jesus, Ah
Disappear into the ether, Yeah
Breaking out from the animal keeper
Like an animal keeper
