they checked the shrine and the temple
but he wasn't there. they checked the mosque and the chapel
not there. since you've been away on holiday
the natives are all nightmares. since you've been away on holiday
i daydream you'll disappear. you keep us on a leash we can't conceive
but still must adhere to. the natives are whipping each other
over which god they prefer. i wish you'd do us all a favor
and just differ. since you've been away on holiday
we don't know which god is which. and since you've been away on holiday
it's getting harder to give a shit. so if you stayed away on holiday
we could get on with it. i mean
we could evolve like this
if you'd just call it quits. since you've been away on holiday
we've stomached your archaic rule. and since you've been away on holiday
we've hosted some wars over you. so stay away on holiday
we don't need your services;
