By David Snyder
V1
Everybody pick a number
Go ahead and stand in line
You know we can’t get any dumber
Casting pearls before swine
You can cast them at the altar
You can cast them at the bar
You can cast them at the lottery
Or that new and shiny car
You can cast them at the phonies
You can cast them at the fakes
You can cast them at that cement wall
Just before you hit the brakes
V2
You can cast them at the accolades
They hand out after school
Once they taken all your money
And they’ve just made you a fool
In the land of Simon Coward
You can cast them at the stage
When they’ve stripped you of your faith
You can cast them at your rage
You can cast them at the President
And all the members of the feast
When they tell you that you need them
They’re no better than a thief
CH
Everybody wants you shackled
They want your money and your soul
But you didn’t ask to come here
You never asked to be sold
V3
You can cast them at your parents
If you need call their bluff
You can cast them at your shrink
When you say you’ve had it rough
You can cast them at the heavens
If your heart’s run out of love
You can cast them at the preacher
When he says you’re not good enough
You can cast them at the river
You can cast them at the sun
You can cast them at your lover
Just the way you’ve always done
CH
Everybody wants to shackle you
They want your money and your soul
But you didn’t ask to come here
You never asked to be controlled
V4
Better run for the border
Better make your great escape
Let’s saddle up those horses
And ride before daybreak
We’ll leave everything behind us
Freedom for Freedom’s sake
And you can tell the watchman
I’ve had all that I can take
Hurry up now princess
You know we’re running out of time
Don’t leave me stranded in the dust, honey
Casting pearls before swine
CH
Everybody wants us baby
They want our money and our souls
But we didn’t ask to come here
We didn’t asked to be sold
Everybody wants us shackle us
They all want full control
We gotta make a border crossing
Before our bodies get too old
Come on quickly now
you know we’re running out of time
Don’t leave me stranded here in Babylon
Casting pearls before swine
Last time I talked to God
He had something else in mind
And I can see the New Jerusalem
And I need to cross the finish line
I won’t waste another second
Casting pearls before swine
Before swine
