about

(c) & (p) 2012 Ian M. Roure (BMI)

"The more you know those old beliefs are stretched beyond repair"

lyrics

The Bishop's got his hat on - he's coming out today
He's the new man & he's gonna have his say
The flock are so excited now the shepherd's back in place
Some sad & some delighted but all want to see his face
All reckon this is the way...

How long will anyone care who gets the Bishop's chair
How long will anyone need to know the Bishop's there
The more you know those old beliefs are stretched beyond repair
How long will anybody care?

The Bishop's got his hat on - he's on the balcony
He's blessing via radio and satellite link
The flock are led along into the technological era
File under "fills a need" and file with all other "true"
Religions lasting millennia...
