Being Here Lyrics

I've seen pictures of angels, well I should say paintings

I've seen paintings of God, well I might say Jesus

And every painting that I've ever seen of J.C

He's always sporting a beard

And every painting that I've ever seen of an angel

They all look like women

Is it that God is a manly man

Up in heaven with all the power

That's surrounded by his bitches

Is this a storybook interpretation painted by a man

Or religious, social hierarchy

Power structure, patriarchy, concept of God

That keeps everyone in line

Or is it just me

How strange being here

In this moment now

I love being here

How strange being here

In this moment now

I love being here

Where else would I be

I've seen mass murder on TV

Some call it war

I've heard the truth

Buried in lies

Listen to the government

Letting people starve in the streets

So our movie stars can live in good

It's all worth the practice of admission

To escape, escape, escape

The homeless people starving in the streets

The mass murder on the TV

The lies being told everyday

Corporations and governments

And ourselves in the name of fear and greed

How strange being here

In this moment now

I love being here

How strange being here

In this moment now

I love being here

Where else could I be

Everything is perfect as it is

What better time to follow the heart

Now is the time

To let it shine

Cause everything is perfect

As it is

How strange being here

On this planet now

I love being here

How strange being here

In this moment now

I love being here

How strange being here

On this planet

I love being here

How strange being here

In this moment

I love being here

Where else should I be

How strange, how strange

I feel the limit stretching

How strange, how strange

How strange, how strange

How strange, how strange

How strange, how strange

How strange, how strange

The homeless people starving in the streets

The mass murder on the TV

The lies being told everyday

By corporations and governments

And ourselves
