lyrics

Gloria in Excelsis
Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax
hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Laudamus te, Adoramus te,
Benedicimus te, Glori camus te,
Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam:
Domine Deus, Rex caelestis,
Deus Pater omnipotens.
Domine Fili unigenite, Jesu Christe.
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris
Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Suscipe deprecationem nostram.
Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, misererere nobis.
Quoniam tu solus Sanctus;
Tu solus Dominus;
Tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe,
Cum Sancto Spiritu,
in gloria Dei Patris.
Amen.

Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth
to men of good will.
We praise Thee, we bless Thee,
we worship Thee, we glorify Thee,
We give Thee thanks for Thy great glory,
O Lord God, heavenly King,
God the Father almighty.
Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-begotten Son.
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father
Who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Who take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer.
Who sit at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.
For Thou alone art holy;
Thou alone art Lord;
Thou alone, O Jesus Christ,
together with the Holy Ghost,
art most high in the Glory of God the Father.
Amen.

Half of the people are stoned
and the other half are waiting for the next election.
Half the people are drowned
and the other half are swimming in the wrong direction.

They call it glorious living.
And, baby, where does that leave you, You and your kind?
(...miserere nobis, suscipe deprecationem nostram.)
You and your youth and your mind? Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere.
Half of the people are stoned
and the other half are waiting for the next election.
