Root of All Evil Lyrics

There was a

Farmer

Miner

Shaman

Creator

Romantic

They were a family

That lived amongst the trees

And the flowers and the bees

And their cabinets

The farmer grew apples of

Golden grapes of lilac

Served all plates

And buckets of cognac

The miner found them

Jewels, diamonds and

Oh

Built the cabinets they resided in

Amongst the trees

And the flowers and the bees

And their towers

The shaman blew minds with potions

Healed wounds and hearts broken

Studied all theories and history

Made medicine for the foreign war

Wanting nothing in return

They helped the world learn

The creator gave them joy

By making good deeds and mystery

Songs so hauntingly

The romantic loved them all

Themselves and the world around them

Upon the mess was trickling in

The root of all evil

Came to put a spin on this hymn

Devine betrayal

It got into the farmer's head

To put food in boxes

And stores and shelves

For dollars and expenses

And grew the wheat so strangely high

The top is not seen by the ground bound eye

Grew so tall

The scarecrow couldn't guard it

Aviation ate it all

Before the harvest

The miner dug it's nose right

To the farmer

Greed made the decision to

Tell him what the earth is worth

And they sold rocks

Shines through them clear

The cost of the rocks were just

The root of all evil

Appeared in the air

Next was seen

In a psychedelic scene

The visions held by the shaman

And all what was fair

And from whom to care

And even them to take from their trust

The vision told a charged medicine

For the old, the young and the crazy

To give to the other four based on

Values that were unfair

And in the eyes of the universe

Were untrue

The root of all evil's hypnotics made

The creator's are bland and romantic

The paintings became ads

And the songs turned bad

And they were all sold for profit

The romantic found shade for themselves

And others in barns

Serials redefined their features

This tale is you

We're living in currently

It's been in front of our eyes

Since the dawn of humanity

The root of all evil

Is in your pocket
