Pearls B4 the Swine

[Intro]

Da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Can I offer you baklava

Or a bagel with cream cheese?

Will we say grace to our father

Holding hands down on our knees?

[Verse 4]

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?

[Chorus]

What makes men claim that you're a friend

When you are 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"
