Prometheus Took
Song a Day #1526
 
D    A 
Race towards the finish line
G    A
You can't win 'em all the time, you know
D    A
You know, you know what you know
G    A
Oak and pine and sparrow by sparrow
Bm   G
There your garden goes
Bm    A
Spray it down with your garden hose 
D    A
You want it now, don't want to wait
G    A
Babe that's a fact I appreciate, oh oh




i was on my way to see you
big bad wolf
i was bringing you a flame that
Prometheus took
My heart burned red
My soul was cool
I wrapped my head
In the golden rule




Once they called me friend
but I never belonged to them, you know
They called me traitor and I said who is
I said it all depends on what your point of view is
and then on judgment day
it was just  a game they tried  to make me play
but I wouldn't play so that I couldn't lose
so they stripped the wings right off my shoes




Now I am left behind
Just remember to bear in mind 
The weight. this weight, that's heavy on me
Words and signs that are way beyond me
I don't think, I can only act
i come from the the dirt that is freshly packed
Noisy puddles in the rain
the chorus of angels all exclaim




we was on our way to see you
big bad wolf
we was bringing you a flame that
Prometheus took
Our hears burnt red
Our souls was cool
We wrapped our heads
In the golden rule
