"No Earthly Good" lyrics

No Earthly Good

Come hear me, good brothers
Come here, one and all
Don't brag about standing
Or you'll surely fall

You're shining your light
Yes, and shine if you should
But you're so heavenly minded
You're no earthly good

No earthly good
You are no earthly good
You're so heavenly minded
You're no earthly good
You're shining your light
Yes, and shine if you should
But you're so heavenly minded
You're no earthly good

Come here me, good sisters
You're salt of the earth
If your salt isn't salted
Then what is its worth?

You could give someone
A cool drink if you would
But you're so heavenly minded
You're no earthly good

No earthly good
You are no earthly good
You're so heavenly minded
You're no earthly good
You could give someone
A cool drink if you would
But you're so heavenly minded
You're no earthly good

If you're holding heaven
Then spread it around
There are hungry hands reaching
Up here from the ground

Move over and share
The high ground where you stood
So heavenly minded
You're no earthly good

No earthly good
You are no earthly good
You're so heavenly minded
You're no earthly good
Move over and share
The high ground where you stood
So heavenly minded
You're no earthly good

No earthly good
You are no earthly good
You're so heavenly minded
You're no earthly good
You're shining your light
Yes, and shine if you should
But you're so heavenly minded
You're no earthly good
