Their Gods Do Not Have Surgeons

They came like beasts who'd tasted blood First a few and then the flood Coursing over hill and dale Wet paw prints on their bloody trail Return the peace you took from me Give me back my community Show us the goodwill you were shown But leave us alone And restore the temple of Isis at Memphis Yeah, restore the temple of Isis at Memphis Their hunger like a worm inside them No sacred place could be denied them They who talk all day of beauty Call all the plain things dirty Melted holes in celluloid Give me back what you've destroyed You who come demanding proof Let your God rebuild this roof And restore the temple of Isis at Memphis Yeah, restore the temple of Isis at Memphis Make it whole again if you can Stand in the smoke and say some prayers Wave your hand And restore the temple of Isis at Memphis Restore the temple of Isis at Memphis --- Their Gods Do Not Have Surgeons - The Mountain Goats
