Paul "Hammy" Halmshaw - Pearls Before Swine lyrics

And the hatchet men Wrapped in unsk**ed grace In all their wisdom Did mock and condemn Judge and patronise In all their idol stupidity They decree judgement Self-acclaimed witch-hunters The parasites that ridicule the host So open-minded they spit slander So sound in ideals; back biters When the half-truths run dry Lies in torrents will follow No one said it would be easy How long before the rope breaks Years of labour undone in an instant And sitting in splendour are those you adore You so adore But when they fall from grace It's a pit of wolves out there An itch that won't scratch You're tearing apart The very banner you claim to hold so high Are you simply so ignorant Or just too important to try Or are you just jealous This your only means of attention And you mock the stage As you dance to the tune And our justification Is like casting pearls before swine
