Mass - A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players and Dancers I: VI. Gloria: 3. Trope: "Half of the People"

Amen!
Half of the people are stoned
And the other half are waiting for the next
Election
Half the people are drowned
And the other half are swimming in the
Wrong direction
They call it
Glorious Living
And, baby, where does that leave you
You and your kind?
… miserere nobis;
Suscipe deprecationem nostram
… you and your youth and your mind?
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Half of the pople are stoned
And th other half are waiting for the next
Election …
