The Staggering Gods

[Verse 1]
The gods are staggering across the earth in their chains
The gods are dying, clutching at lost fortune and fame

[Chorus]
The feel-good god and the lord of science
Democracy's blind and bewildered giants
The hammer and the sickle and the modern appliance
All the staggering gods
The staggering gods

[Verse 2]
The gods are stumbling, hopeless and sick unto death
The gods we worship are gasping for their final breath

[Chorus]
The feel-good god and the lord of science
Democracy's blind and bewildered giants
The hammer and the sickle and the modern appliance
All the staggering gods
The staggering gods

[Bridge]
We hear the terrible noise that gives them away
The thud of worn out shoes and cracking feet of clay
We've heard the stammering words of these dying kings
And we shudder at the sound
(The dying gods)
Of these fearsome things

[Verse 3]
The gods are fumbling they're weak and they're ready to fall
(Here come the dying gods)
The gods are human, not one of them can help us at all
(Here come the dying gods)

[Chorus]
The feel-good god and the lord of science
Democracy's blind and bewildered giants
The hammer and the sickle and the modern appliance
All the staggering gods
All the staggering gods
All the staggering gods

[Outro]
Here come, here come all the staggering gods
All the staggering gods
(Here come all the staggering gods)
All the staggering gods
(Here come all the staggering gods)
All the staggering gods
(Here come all the staggering gods)
All the staggering gods
