I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain{It is a great thing that we have an
Unarmed police force in this country
It is perhaps an even greater thing that
A force that is unarmed is able
To shoot so many people}The Angels glided, glided, glided
The Angels glided, glided, glided
Glided, glided, glided, glidedOn hands and knees
Floors like these washing away
Red from grey hearts will ache
Shotgun-shaped no remorseOf course, of course
Of course there's an explanation
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
Why you sing without reason or rhymeThe Angels glided, glided, glided
Glided, glided, glided, glidedEveryone must be wrong
This explains where he lays
Hearts can kill and they will
Filed reportsOf course, of course
Of course there's an explanation
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
Why you sing without reason or rhymeThe Angels glided, glided, glided
Glided, glided, glided, glidedOf course there's an explanation
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
