Pearls B4 the Swine

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

If I leave my front door open

Would you come and visit me?

Just to slander my name hoping

That I would pack my bags and leave

If I did, would you remember

To feed the dove and clean the cage?

And never count in front of the children

Lest they die of old age

I don't really know why we have to go our separate ways

Separate ways

Whether or not we grow after the seeds are sown

Only time can say

Can I offer you baklava

Or a bagel with cream cheese?

Will we say grace to our father

Holding hands down on our knees?

Are we better off just fighting?

You on your side, me on mine

Are the words that I keep writing

Only pearls before the swine?

What makes men claim that you're a friend

When you're not at all?

They just want

They knock you down and then

They lift you up again, just to see you fall

But like a bird, I'll keep on singing

A song that never leaves your mind

If nothing else, you've taught me one thing

"Never cast your pearls before the swine"
