Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.
Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Playing in this holy garden, silly old monkeys,
Well there's one who's bound to divide it
Right in two
Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over a piece of other ground.
Silly monkeys given thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And then theres one bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They make a club
And beat their brother down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant dismal creature who would squander
The ability live, to die, and have a conscience
Brothers live and die here
Cut it all right in two
(x4)
Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over prayer, over head and light
Fight over love, over sun, over another
Fight...
Angels on the sideline again
Been so long with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end
Cut it all right in two
(x3)
Right in two
(x2)
