Gather

Some of us need to gather
And others gonna have to kill
With everybody so preoccupied, who's gonna pay the bills?

If anybody finds a flame
You gotta keep it safe and dry
If anybody goes for coffee
Well, then, give me a piece of the pie, a little piece of the pie
And then we gotta try to harvest
Somebody's gonna have to till
And what about a little shelter?
What about a big house on the hill?
And who's gonna tend the garden
If the rain forgets to fall?
And who's gonna spend
As much as they can
On Jesus at the mall?

Some of us need to gather
And others gonna have to kill
With everybody so preoccupied, who's gonna pay the bills?

Now we got ourselves a circusLet's put it away for a while
We'll bring it back if we get hungry
Or just fashionably out of style
And who's gonna try to fix this one?
Somebody please stop the car
And who's gonna give me some good news and
Who's gonna take it too far?
Come on, let's take it too far
Come on, let's take it too far
Come on, let's take it too far
Come on, let's take it too

Some of us need to gather
And other's are gonna have to kill
With everybody so preoccupied, who's gonna pay the bills?
Well some of us need to gather (some of us need to gather)
Some of us need to gather (some of us need to gather)
Some of us need to gather (some of us need to gather)
Who's gonna pay the bills (come on, let's take it too far)
Who's gonna pay the bills
Come on, let's take it too far
Who's gonna pay the
Come on let's take it too far
Who's gonna pay the
