Description
This song was written out of frustration from the epidemic lure of religious cult leaders who win over duped followers by the seduction of their words. The term Wanted Prose is a suggestive play on words.
Lyrics
Is it enough for the sheep to follow the whims of ordinary man? Is it enough to escape the trials and try to do the best you can? Is it enough for the common man to lose his way in the end? Is it enough? (Instrumental break) It’s sad to see you fall (yeah, yeah . . .) From the misery you chose (babies) Your back is against the wall Betray your destiny (yeah, yeah . . .) For the wanted prose (babies) You salivate avariciously in the name of the Holy One A bad taste forming in your mouth You proclaim that the work is done Betrayed by the words you said Take a follower and make a disciple But in the end the spoken word is dead At the hands of a man with a rifle (Repeat chorus 2X)
