The Lyrics of Terry Hubbard

Broken Wheel

written 2004 © 2004 - 2010 by T. Hubbard

 

 

Oh the Dragon and the Dove were a-meetin' in the sky,

and everybody else was left to wonder.

Oh the speculation, and the consultation was the goin' thing.

An ancient revelation with no new interpretation 'bout a familiar King.

 

Chorus:

Round and round it goes, like a wheel broken off,

rolling' away down the hill like it's never gonna stop.

When is it gonna stop?

 

Nobody knows.

 

The Angel , and the Devil were dancin' to a different tune,

and the day was growin' long.

 

Oh the teachers and preachers all claim to know

just how to sing that song.

But they never stop to listen to the living word.

 

Well the corporate beast had a first class feast

on the substance of life,

and not a single soul could find their way out.

 

And the programmed dedication to the misrepresentation of reality,

made the situation just another complication for you and me.

 

Chorus:

Round and round it goes, like a wheel broken off,

rolling' away down the hill like it's never gonna stop.

When is it gonna stop?

 

Nobody knows.

 

Somewhere on an imagined mountainside,

the truth labors to be born.

But the kings and politicians, and the angel, and the devil,

and the teachers, and preachers agree;

They don't want to listen to the living word.
