Holy Men

I've seen holy men, babe

Watched them scribe their names

I've been all over highways

Spoke the campsite ways

Now the blood runs down the river

Like water to the throne

When there's too much water flowing

The treasures turn to bone

And all my life I saw this coming

And all this time we kept on running

They say holy men don't lie

But the cannonball keeps flying

And it don't come down

I've seen holy men, babe

Turn a crowd insane

Water into wine, babe

On the campaign trail

Now the blood runs down the river

And he controls the flow

To seven billion people

That you will never know

And all my life I saw this coming

And all this time we kept on running

They say holy men don't lie

But the cannonball keeps flying

And it don't come down

Will you be there when it all comes down?

Will you stop and stare at the tumbling crowns?

Will we be there when it all comes down?

Will we stop and stare, will we tumble the crown?

And all my life I saw this coming

And all this time we kept on running

They say holy men don't lie

But the cannonball keeps flying

And it don't come down
