Progress (The Ballad of David and Nathan)
He’s barely cleaned the crud of mud and blood
From under his fingernails
But he knows the way and the truth of life
And all that it entails
Now he’s thinking about what Weill come after all
But the sharks you owe are never far from home
When there’s hell to pay
But he’s feeling elite when he hits the street
On feet still made of clay
And now he’s working on me ‘cause Glory be!
He’s in free fall
He’s a god and he’s an animal
And though they might seem incompatible
The only problem comes from thinking he’s all done
When he’s only just begun
He’s rarely thinking of things like peace and love
Only itches to be scratched
And though you can bet he’ll feel some regret
It’s only ever after the fact
Past reason what you hunted you hate now
You choked on that bait
But sometimes the crime gets in the hero’s mind
And then it all falls through
Is he a pig in the muck or just a sheep that’s stuck?
He’s a product of the terrible two
‘Cause the scary part is there’s an option in your heart
To become what you hate
We are gods and we are animals
And though they might seem incompatible
The only problem comes in thinking we’re all done
When we’ve only just begun
Choose now your fight or flight!
To give up or give chase!
.... or better to just stay home and wait?
If there’s a Man with a Plan you know that you can’t
Accuse Him of being boring
Because though we might be out of luck
We’re most definitely stuck
In the middle of an excellent story
So Behold the Man with a proper dose of shock and awe
You can trust the poets’ guidance son
As you look over the fence
To tell you things you can not know yourself
Save through the damage of experience
Just hit the deck when you suspect that your direction’s wrong
We are gods, and we are animals
And though we might seem incompatible
The only problem comes in thinking we’re all done
When we’ve only just begun
