lyrics

"Wise As Serpents"
from "Wise As Serpents...Gentle As A Dove" album

See the man on the T.V. screen
Telling us his hands are clean
Truth's a wartime casualty
Say's the lie can make us free (John 8:32)

(Chorus)
Spirit open up our eyes
Help us see through the disguise
When the wrong's dressed up like right (2 Cor. 11:12 - 15)
Lord we've got to be wise
Wise as serpents (Matthew 10:16)

Hear the "new right" preacher preach
Build the bombs and pray for peace
On the cross there's a flag that's draped
Gospel of the nation state

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And the serpent's a master at twisting words around (Genesis 3:1 - 5)
And the serpent just loves the truth
As long as it's well watered down

Take a look inside myself (Matthew 7:1 - 5)
Serpent gets to me as well (1 John 1:8)
Spirit says stand up, speak out (Luke 12:8 - 9)
Serpent says now aren't you proud?

(Chorus)
