Once Upon a Time - Pearls Before Swine

Once upon a time in a faraway land

You know I don’t mean here

Well, the old men shook with fear as the water rose

Doo bop dop …

The fishes knew the sign that there is a tide

The children they called it change

But the old men in their chains

What they did not know

They called it sin and so

The water rose

Doo wah da …

All across the land, the old men thundered

'Pile stone on stone'

'A wall’s our only hope'

But the children, they only laughed

Ha ha ha …

The moral of this song, this made-up story

Don’t build a wall of stone

You only have to learn to float

Well I guess the fishes told

The children, 'cause they know

Doo dah doo dah …
