Glacier Lyrics - Pale Green Ghosts - John Grant

You just want to live your life 

The best way you know how 

But they keep on telling you 

That you are not allowed 

They say you are sick 

That you should hang your head in shame 

They are pointing fingers 

And want you to take the blame 

There are days when people are 

So nasty and convincing 

They say things beyond belief 

That sting and leave you wincing 

And to boot they say their words 

Come straight down from above 

And they really seem to think 

That what they're doing counts as love 

This pain it is a glacier moving through you 

And carving out deep valleys 

And creating spectacular landscapes 

And nourishing the ground 

With precious minerals and other stuff 

So don't you become paralyzed with fear 

When things seem particularly rough 

Don't you pay them fuckers as they say no never mind 

They don't give two shits about you, it's the blind leading the blind 

What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy 

And what that boils down to is referred as hypocrisy 

Don't listen to anyone, get answers on your own 

Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone 

No one on this planet can tell you what to believe 

People like to talk a lot and they like to deceive 

[Repeat x2] 

This pain it is a glacier moving through you 

And carving out deep valleys 

And creating spectacular landscapes 

And nourishing the ground 

With precious minerals and other stuff 

So don't you become paralyzed with fear 

When things seem particularly rough
