John Grant - Glacier lyrics

rate me

You just want to live your life

The best way you know how

But they keep on telling you

That you are not allowed

They say you are sick

That you should hang your head in shame

They are pointing fingers

And want you to take the blame

There are days when people are

So nasty and convincing

They say things beyond belief

That sting and leave you wincing

And to boot they say their words

And straight down from above

And they really seem to think

That what they're doing counts as love

This pain, it is a glacier moving through you

And carving out deep valleys

And creating spectacular landscapes

And nourishing the ground

With precious minerals and other stuff

So don't you become paralyzed with fear

When things seem particularly rough

Don’t you pay them fuckers, as they say, no never mind

They don’t give two shits about you, it's the blind leading the blind

What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy

And what that boils down to is referred to as hypocrisy

Don't listen to anyone, get answers on your own

Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone

No one on this planet can tell you what to believe

People like to talk a lot and they like to deceive

This pain, it is a glacier moving through you

And carving out deep valleys

And creating spectacular landscapes

And nourishing the ground

With precious minerals and other stuff

So don't you become paralyzed with fear

When things seem particularly rough

Oh, this pain, it is a glacier moving through you

And carving out deep valleys

And creating spectacular landscapes

And nourishing the ground

With precious minerals and other stuff

So don't you become paralyzed with fear

When things seem particularly rough
