Waterdeep - The Animal [Not Big Enough] lyrics

When I was a little one, they told me
that he lived in flames
That he raped & stole & killed & maimed
and that he loved to curse our names
That he came in fire & the smell of hell
and he only took the evil folk
That he would snort & breathe the flesh of dead
and that you knew him by the smoke
that he left behind

CHORUS:
Well, then animal is bigger than I thought
I said the animal is bigger than I thought
Well, the animal is bigger- way bigger than I would ever
thought before
but I will tell you this my friend, he won´t win in the end
cause he has not big enough

Well, I am a little bit older now, and
I think I am just beginning to see
that he hides in your pocket in the evening sun
slides in your home at the turn of the key
That he smiles in his suit as he shakes your head
and he asks about the baseball game
That he dresses in the latest, & he knows all the phrases
and he never forgets a name
And if you come to him with an armload of sin
and a life that is a total mess
he will tell you you are okay. You didn´t do nothing wrong
and you are experiencing too much stress

He will tell you you work hard three hundred days a yeahr
for the money in your bank account
and there aint no reason that he can think of
that you should give any of it out
Well, those people on the street are all shiftless & lazy
They ain´t´ worth the clothes they fit
He will tell you you are so right & you can feel okay
because at church you always give a little bit

We will he will whisper in your ear when you are tired
and he will inform you of some regret
or he will slide & he will slither in a sexy way
off the glass on your television set
He will pull your gaze off of someone has eyes
right to another place
He will hand you glossy dreams of some earthly queen
in leather & chains or lace
You will say, "there isn´thing I can do
I got to go down you know the passion is way too strong"
He will tell you that is okay. Don´t let yourself
cause that passion´ll make you live longer

He will tell you now "You can believe anything you want
and theres no such thing as truth
And as soon as smth real even touches your soul
well, he will throw away the proof
He says that reason is the thing that makes you human
Without it, you´ll die
And that Faith is a farce for the foolish & the feeble
who´ve fallen for an opium lie
Now that isn´t your game, he will dictate to you
You know that stuff aint real
And they may have paid Judas thirty pieces of silver
But that Jesus guy wasn´t worth steel
