I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain
{It is a great thing that we have an
Unarmed police force in this country
It is perhaps an even greater thing that
A force that is unarmed is able
To shoot so many people}
The Angels glided, glided, glided
The Angels glided, glided, glided
Glided, glided, glided, glided
On hands and knees
Floors like these washing away
Red from grey hearts will ache
Shotgun-shaped no remorse
Of course, of course
Of course there's an explanation
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
The Angels glided, glided, glided
Glided, glided, glided, glided
Everyone must be wrong
This explains where he lays
Hearts can k** and they will
Filed reports
Of course, of course
Of course there's an explanation
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
The Angels glided, glided, glided
Glided, glided, glided, glided
Of course there's an explanation
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
(The Angels glided, glided, glided)
Without reason or rhyme
The Angels glided, glided, glided
The Angels glided, glided, glided
The Angels glided, glided, glided
