Envy - The Angels Went Marching Lyrics



Envy - The Angels Went Marching Lyrics




[ Featuring The Sloths ]

Oh swift did the day turn to night
And how I was tucked into bed without a fight
How you cradled my head when I got home
While some parents arrived there alone

Did the devil send his soldier to kill
Did that monster have a motive or was it simply for the thrill
How the many sighed a breath of relief
That it wasn't them suffering grief

And the school let out early and the children all cheered
Because the kids weren't told simply not to cause fear
But a different classroom not too far away
How the angels went marching up to heaven that day

Well they're building a playground at the beach
And the man on the TV is giving a speech
There will be an assembly at school
About how sometimes the world can be cruel

How the hell were the kids supposed to know
That the country they live in has to hang their head low
Does the second amendment still apply
If you're worried that your children might die

And the citizens worried that the government comes
To relieve them of privilege and to steal their guns
But is freedom still freedom if we carry that weight
How the angels went marching up to heaven that day

This land is your land
This land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
