SONG OF THE FISHER KING [ blues/pop ] Born on the blind side of midnight Can’t bust these chains ‘round me Twisted truth don't make wrong right Can’t buy what’s for free DNA string of lie on lie A domino chain reaction Lost generation born to try We get no satisfaction Judas sits in the capitol tower Lazarus weeps by the gates Straw dog rulers of corporate power Leave the people in dire straits Page is turnin' to a great world war They wrote it all down in the book He's knockin' at the door with the cure Best drink the water while it’s still in the brook Listen to a good news tune Listen to a song that plays for free It requires no religion No belief in Christianity Listen to a good news tune Changin’ losers into winners Song of the fisher king Friend of planet earth’s sinners Listen to a good news tune Listen close and you will hear it The true God wants to forgive us And fill us with love’s spirit Listen to a good news tune Only the truth can make us free Song of the fisher king Comin’ from the stars of eternity Judas sits in the capitol tower Lazarus weeps by the gates Straw dog rulers of corporate power Leave the people in dire straits Page is turnin' to a great world war They wrote it all down in the book He's knockin' at the door with the cure Best drink the water while it’s still in the brook God asks only that we call on his name They wrote it in the Bible book He's knockin' at the door with the only cure Drink the water while it’s still in the brook While it's still in the brook While it's still in the brook * * Title concept from the motion picture "The Fisher King", starring Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams             Copyright © 2005 by Richard Aberdeen Copyright © 2005 by Freedom Tracks Music No part of this material may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including printing, photocopying, recording or by any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the Publisher and signed by the author.  Inquiries: Freedom Tracks Music ~ Records, 292 Trails Circle, Nashville, TN 37214 or requested via eMail.  Essays entitled Revolution and Revolution -- Side B are open copyright and may be reproduced or utilized as often as one likes.
