Ian Gillan - Over The Hill lyrics

Gillan There is a good old boy in the valley On the other side of the hill There is a good old man in the canyon On the other side of the hill It took a thousand years to remember Another thousand years to forget The coming of the Messiah The most famous preacher yet There is an easy way to the green field Where the air blows warm and clear There is an easy route to the meadow Where there is no hate there is no fear You've got to get down under the water Or throw yourself in the road And if you're lucky you won't hit the fire You can settle down your load Watch the pieces fit together That's the way we are You are the hero I am a coward You will be the star If I tell you how to fight You can easy win Man is here to fight mankind Man is here to sin Will you take a little share of my hunger I'm sure you'll patronise a starving man Or will you take a little piece of the famine In a far off Eastern land No I don't show no respect for your feelings I don't give a sh** for your smile When there's a good old boy in the valley Got religion twentieth century style
