Angels on the sideline
Puzzled and amused
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confusedDon't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly old monkeys
Where there's one you're bound to divide it
Right in twoAngels on the sideline
Baffled and confused
Father blessed them all with reason
And this is what they choose
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the groundSilly monkeys give them thumbs
They forge a blade, and where there's one they're bound to divide it
Right in two
Right in twoMonkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys give them thumbs, they make a club
And beat their brother down
How they survive so misguided is a mystery
Repugnant is a Creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time hereCut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in twoFight over the clouds, over wind, over sky and
Fight over life, over blood, over air and light
Over love, over sun, over another
Fight for the time, for the one, for the rise andAngels on the sideline again
Been so long with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will endCut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in two
Right in two
Right in two
