my soul sisters, soul brothers gather around
let's find relief in delusion on the preacher man's ground
there is the powerplant turbine and the fortress around
i saw the guns in the hills on my way into town
here in the garden of ease i hear his words every day
they keep us hungry and willing keep us wanting to stay
i saw a bird on a wire this morning eager to leave
i took the preacher man's rifle i saw him down at my feet
i do believe
now as the guards come around
i do believe
i hear the church bell's sound
i do believe
now as the cross is bound
i do believe
it's to be found in the hollowed ground
everybody keep on running up the hill we'll paint the sky
the preacher's talking backwards while the river's running dry
we're high
oh so high
there's a hollow at the foot of the mountain
dig your hands into the clammy ore
keep on digging till the hollow's a tunnel
keep on digging for the omitted core
