Philosophy Of Loss Lyrics - Come On Now Social - Indigo Girls

Welcome to why the church has died 

and the heart of the exile and the kingdom of hate 

who owns the land and keeps the commands 

and marries itself to the state 

Modern scribes write in jesus christ 

everyone is free 

and the doors open wide to all straight men and women 

but they are not open to me 

Who is teaching kids to be soldiers 

to be marked by a plain white cross 

and we kill just a little to save a lot more 

the philosophy of loss 

Now there are a few who would be true 

out of love and love is hard 

and don't think that our hands haven't shoveled the dirt 

over their central american graveyards 

Doctors and witch hunters stripped you bare 

left you nothing for your earthly sins 

yeah but who made this noise just a bunch of boys 

and the one with the most toys wins 

And who is teaching kids to be gamblers 

life is a coin toss 

and of course what you give up is what you gain 

the philosophy of loss 

Whatever has happened to anyone else 

could happen to you and to me 

and the end of my youth was the possible truth 

that it all happens randomly 

So who is teaching kids to be leaders 

and the way that it is is meant to be 

the philosophy of loss
