  Angels  on the sideline
  Puzzled  and amused
  Why did Father give  these humans free  will?
  Now  they're all confused
  Don't  these talking monkeys  know that Eden  has enough  to go around?
  Plenty  in this holy  garden, silly  monkeys
  Where  there's one you're bound  to divide  it
  Right  in two
 *The following three verses just follow that same chord progression*
  Angels on the sideline
  Baffled and confused
  Father blessed them all with reason
  And this is what they choose?
  Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground
  Silly monkeys give them thumbs, they forge a blade
  And where there's one they're bound to divide it
  Right in two
  Right in two
  Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
  Over pieces of the ground
  Silly monkeys
  Give them thumbs, they make a club and beat their brother down
  How  they survive  so misguided  is a mystery
  Repugnant  is a creature  who would squander  the ability  to lift  an eye to heaven
  Conscious of  his fleeting time  here
 * *
 * For the chorus herethe timing is a bit more tricky: *
 * *
 * 3/4 4/4 4/4 *
 *  *
 * I would count it like this: *
 * *
 * | 1  + 2 + 3 + | 1  + 2 + | 1  + 2 + | 1  + 2 + 3 + 4 + | *
 * *
  Cut  it all over right  in two
  Cut  it all over right  in two
  Cut  it all over right  in two
  Cut  it all over right  in two
  3/4 2/4
 
  Fight over clouds
  Over earth
  Over sky
  And fight over lie
  Over blood
  Over anything
  Fight over love
  Over sun
  Over nothing
  Fight till they die
  Over what?
  For their ending
  Angels on the sideline again
  Benched along with patience and reason
  Angels on the sideline again
  Wondering when this tug of war will end
  Cut it all over right in two
  Cut it all over right in two
  Cut it all over right in two
  Right in two
  Right in two

   Cut it all over right in two
   Cut it all over right in two
   Right in two
   Right in two
