Reward Lyrics - Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets

We played for you and you did not dance 

we wailed and you did not listen 

and John came neither eating nor drinking 

and you said he is possessed by a demon 

the son of man came eating and drinking 

and you said he is a friend of tax collectors 

but what can I say about you? 

You are like children in the marketplace 

Shouting to your playmates 

he who receives a prophet because he is a 

prophet will receive the prophets reward 

he who receives a righteous man because he is a 

righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward
