tripod - the only shepherd lyrics

Loading...

while shepherds watched their flock by night
they saw a shining star so bright
rejoicing as they saw the ligt
rejoice
rejoicing as
rejoicing as
rejoicing as they saw the light

i was the only shepherd who missed the star that night
i was watching the flock when the others saw the light
they all witnessed the celestial fire
and rushed away to see the messiah
i just did the job i was hired to do
so sue me; screw you

and don’t ask me to tell you the story, son
about the birth of the chosen one
cause i was pulling a dag of a sheep
to put you through school
i don’t care what the other dads saw

i didn’t see the birth of the messiah at all
just a little thing i like to call professional
i didn’t cop a look at the manger
but at least my sheep weren’t in any danger
how many time must i explain t’ya
that i’m a good dad and they’re all sh-t dads

so don’t ask me to tell you the story son
about the birth of the chosen one
’cause i was out putting food on the table
for you and your useless sisters

i was out busting my hump
to raise dowry for those vacuous sisters of yours
so they can marry the sons
of all the shepherds who dine out each weekend on their bullsh-t stories
those fancy pants “look at me, i saw god’s star”-f-ckers

we came to this country with nothing
i sacrificed everything for you boy
now you sit there and tell me i’m boring with your eyes
next time you speak to your mother
tell her i’m playing guitar again
and writing her songs like i used to long ago

now i’m asking come back and live here son
i really miss you and your mum
i didn’t witness the birth of that kid
like her new boyfriend did
i forgot how to follow the stars

and so the shepherd got his priorities back on track
scaled back his shifts and learned to dream again
through the mysteries of christmas the shepherd had lost everything
but he had gained everything as well

the lord does things in less direct ways
than sometimes you’d expect
he helps you learn by f-cking your life
rejoice (rejoice)
rejoice rejoice
rejoice in your empty house
