Big Hollow Man

Hey yeah, walking in the valley of decision
Hey yeah, reap all the wages of sin

A big hollow man
With a fistful of sham
Came a-walking across the sea
All leathery charms
As he pinwheeled his arms
And directed his gaze at me
And he said
God will provide the way
You read about it every day
I'm telling ya
All you gotta do is pray
And furnish his house with silver

Hey yeah, walking in the valley of decision
Hey yeah, reap all the wages of sin

Liberty's daughter
Well primed for the slaughter
A space where her brains had been
All ribbons and curls
She's a good hearted girl
Broken by what she had seen
She says
Daddy don't you go away
Stay with me and we can play
I'm begging ya
Do it just like yesterday
And I can go home to Jesus

Hey yeah, walking in the valley of decision
Hey yeah, reap all the wages of sin

Hey yeah, walking in the valley of decision
Hey yeah, reap all the wages of sin

A regular Joe
Who had nowhere to go
A space where his home had been
A bombing religion
A blight on the region
To fuel a pious dream
And they said
God will provide the way
You read about it every day
I'm telling ya
All you gotta do is pray
And furnish his house with silver

Hey yeah, walking in the valley of decision
Hey yeah, reap all the wages of sin
Hey yeah, walking in the valley of decision
Hey yeah, reap all the wages of sin
Hey yeah, walking in the valley of decision
