DON HENLEY - Little Tin God lyrics
rate meA new age is dawning<br>On fewer than expected<br>Business is usual<br>That's how the headline read<br>Some shaky modern saviors<br>Have now been resurrected<br>In all this excitement<br>You may have been misled<br>People want a miracle<br>They say oh lord, can't you see us? <br>We're tryin' to make a livin' down here<br>And keep the children fed<br>But, from little dark motel rooms<br>To six flags over jesus<br>How are the mighty fallen<br>So the Bible said<br>You don't have to pray to a little tin god<br>Step out of the way for a little tin god<br>You might fear the reaper, you might fear the rod<br>But you never have to get down on your knees<br>You don't have to holler, please, please<br>No, you never have to get down on your knees<br>For a little tin god<br>The cowboy's name was jingo<br>And he knew that there was trouble<br>So in a blaze of glory<br>He rode out of the west<br>No one was ever certain<br>What it was that he was sayin'<br>But they loved it when he told them<br>They were better than the rest<br>But you don't have to pray for a little tin god<br>Step out of the way for a little tin god<br>You might hate to system, hate the job<br>But you never have to get down on your knees<br>You don't have to holler, please, please<br>No, you never have to get down on your knees<br>For a little tin god<br>Throw down a rope from heaven<br>And lead the flock to water<br>The man in the middle would have you think<br>That you have no other choice<br>But to wander in the wilderness<br>Of all the upturned faces<br>If you stop and listen long enough<br>You will hear your own small voice<br>But you don't have to pray to a little tin god<br>Step out of the way for a little tin god<br>You might fear the reaper, fear the rod<br>But you never have to get down on your knees<br>You don't have to holler, please, please<br>No, you never have to get down on your knees<br>You don't have to holler, please, please<br>You never have to get down on your knees<br>For a little tin god
