Jesus Christ Was an Only Child Lyrics
He went down to the river
And he drank and smiled
Should have insured that planet
Before it crashed
Work your fingers to the bone sitting on your ass
But I didn't know then what I know now
Well you should hide you kids
While the dogs run wild
He went down to the river
And he drank and smiled
And his dad was oh-so-mad
Should have killed that little fucker
Before he even had
He went down to the river
And he drank and smiled
Should have insured that planet
Before it crashed
Work your fingers to the bone sitting on your ass
Well you should hide you kids
While the dogs run wild
But I didn't know then what I know now
I know now what I knew then, yeah
I know now what I knew then
But I didn't know then what I know now
it is modest mouse thats what it is
this song depicts the demise of religion in a purely technological society. What's the point of religion if people are too busy trying to get rich quick and shit like that. It's a really clever song if you get the lyrics.
Just to let you know, If he knew nothing about what was going to happen before it happened, and he knows now what he knew then, he knows nothing...
hope thats not confusing...
I haven't yet read all the comments, so if I'm repeating any ideas, my apologies.
Has anyone noticed how he talks about dogs running wild, like in Wild Packs of Family Dogs? I think maybe Penny is Isaac's mom or something, because in Wild Packs, he talks about how his family, little by little, got sucked into the religion by the Wild Dogs (preachers, etc.). So I guess, maybe, this means she regrets it (you should hide your kids while the dogs run wild).
"Penny found out as her hair was styled You should hide you kids While the dogs run wild" simply put; watch your kids. Even your perfect only child (Jesus) could turn out sour.
what the hell is that weird noise in the back that sounds kind of like donald duck?
Modest Mouse rules!
Cannibal Corpse is better
Cannibal Corpse is better
I couldn't really understand the lyrics, but it's a really catchy song
It's river fowl.
duck noise = kazoo, possibly?
