Darren Watson - Man In The Sky Releases December 12, 2023 Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Darren Watson at Lamington Recording, Ngaio, Poneke, Aotearoa. Written, performed, and produced by Darren Watson Lyrics ..............

The freedom that’s not free

the battle we don’t see

and though we fight it every day we

don’t know the reason why

There’s only a slight feel

something’s not quite real

if we could see the things they’re doing

we’d probably we’d have to cry

but nothing really matters

there’s a man up in the sky

The money we live for

the time that we sell more

take the precious things for granted

then it’s time to say goodbye

We’re selling ourselves short

and buying a big rort

and if we don’t do what we oughta

no one else will see the lie

so we sigh and keep our mouths shut

for the man up in the sky

Have you heard all the things they say that he said?

how we might have it rough until we are dead

but if we just follow meekly

and do the stuff that we’re told

our reward’s waiting for us

covered in gold

Stuff that they tell us

buy and make less fuss

so we just hand over our trust and

say things that justify

We want a new cellphone

we don’t want to feel alone

so we just do whatever’s ‘normal’

whatever gratifies

‘Cause we can always ask forgiveness

from the man up in the sky
