The Animal (Not Big Enough)
Waterdeep

When I was a little one, they told me

That he lived in flames

That he raped and stole and killed and maimed

And that he loved to curse our names

That he came in fire and the smell of hell

And he only took the evil folk

That he'd snort and breathe the flesh of dead

And that you knew him by the smoke

That he left behind

Chorus:

Well, then animal is bigger than I thought

I said the animal is bigger than I thought

Well, the animal is bigger- way bigger than I'd ever

Thought before

But I'll tell you this my friend, he won't win in the end

Cause he's not big enough

Well, I'm a little bit older now, and

I think I'm just beginning to see

That he hides in your pocket in the evening sun

Slides in your home at the turn of the key

That he smiles in his suit as he shakes your head

And he asks about the baseball game

That he dresses in the latest, and he knows all the phrases

And he never forgets a name

And if you come to him with an armload of sin

And a life that's a total mess

He'll tell you you're okay. You didn't do nothing wrong

And you're experiencing too much stress

He'll tell you you work hard three hundred days a year

For the money in your bank account

And there ain't no reason that he can think of

That you should give any of it out

Well, those people on the street are all shiftless and lazy

They aint' worth the clothes they fit

He'll tell you you're so right and you can feel okay

Because at church you always give a little bit

We'll he'll whisper in your ear when you're tired

And he'll inform you of some regret

Or he'll slide and he'll slither in a s*** way

Off the glass on your television set

He'll pull your gaze off of someone's eyes

Right to another place

He'll hand you glossy dreams of some earthly queen

In leather and chains or lace

You'll say, there's nothing I can do

I got to go down you know the passion is way too strong

He'll tell you that's okay. Don't let yourself

Cause that passion'll make you live longer

He'll tell you now You can believe anything you want

And there's no such thing as truth

And as soon as something real even touches your soul

Well, he'll throw away the proof

He says that reason is the thing that makes you human

Without it, you will die

And that Faith is a farce for the foolish and the feeble

Who have fallen for an opium lie

Now that's not your game, he'll dictate to you

You know that stuff ain't real

And they may have paid Judas thirty pieces of silver

But that Jesus guy wasn't worth steel
