Gospel Shoes Lyrics - Mandolin Orange

Gospel Shoes 

Some set their heads to swimming, nothing to lose 

And drift about the good times with slippers in their boots 

Some walk the straight and narrow, only passing through. 

Gospel Shoes are laced with shackles and chains 

Fitted for the poor, the runners of the race 

Now every hand is folded to the shape of a gun 

The targets ever changing but the war, it rages on 

CH: So the armies march onward for the Mother and the Son 

As this world of screaming color is bleached in the blood. 

Freedom was a simple word, so reverent and true 

A long time ago it meant the right to choose 

Who you love and how to live, but now it's so misused 

And twisted by the politics of men in gospel shoes. 

CH

Our Mother she is crying, her broken heart so blue 

Cause we're too busy dying to love this life we lose 

She's grown weary of the lying 

She's tired of all this fighting in the name of gospel shoes.
