Oral Fixation Vol. 2
| Forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who have trespassed against us Give us this day our daily bread, daily bread, daily bread In caelo et in terra fiat voluntas tua Gloria Spiritui Sancto What language do you speak, if you speak at all? Are you some kind of freak, who lives to raise the ones who fall? How could you tell me why the cat fights the dog? Do you go to the mosque or the synagogue? And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger And if you wrote the script, then why the trouble makers? How do you do? How does it feel to be so high? And are you happy? Do you ever cry? You’ve made mistakes, well that’s okay ’cause we all have But if I forgive yours, will you forgive mine? Hey, do you feel our pain And walk in our shoes? Have you ever felt starved? Or is your belly always full? How many people die and hurt in your name? Hey does that make you proud, or does it bring you shame? And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger And if you wrote the script, then why the trouble makers? How do you do? How does it feel to be so high? And are you happy? Do you ever cry? You’ve made mistakes, well that’s okay ’cause we all have But if I forgive yours, will you forgive mine? Forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who have trespassed against us Give us this day our daily bread, daily bread, daily bread [Arabic] Sameh Zoonoobee Ya Allah Ya Allah [Hebrew] S’lach lana Mechilah Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, amen! How do you do? How does it feel to be so high? And are you happy? Do you ever cry? You’ve made mistakes, well that’s okay ’cause we all have But if I forgive yours, will you forgive mine? How do you do? How does it feel to be so high? And are you happy? Do you ever cry? You’ve made mistakes, well that’s okay ’cause we all have But if I forgive yours, will you forgive mine? |
[Latin] On earth as it is in heaven, let thy will be done Glory to the Holy Spirit [Arabic] Forgive my sins oh Lord Oh Lord [Hebrew] Forgive us Forgiveness |
