lyrics

I'm not too sure if there's a god above,
and if there is if he's someone we can trust.
What if there is no shepherd, if there is no flock,
just a bunch of dirty sheep trying to wait out the clock.
That's not to say the cabernet's not divine

But it's just ordinary wine.

With no king of kings sitting on the throne
we're just a couple billion people trying to make it alone.
Bouncing numbers in the bingo hall
waiting for the evil eye, or the old hand of fate to fall on your ball
I'm hungry to live instead.

But there's just ordinary bread.

I hate to share the bad news
but part of me always knew.
Need something strong to unwind.
So mercy me, I hope you don't mind,
the least I can expect is one more sacrament.
If you can smell it on my breath please don't be unkind.

It's just ordinary wine.
