Lyrics[]
Danny: You swear to God you've got the answers
And then you hold them all for ransom
Funny Man: Sell your soul for the pedestal
If you lie, make it credible
This medicine doesn't seem medical
Placebo or chemical
Johnny 3 Tears: They want everything you got and not 'cause of virtue
Find you vulnerable and then they can hurt you
They want everything you got so they can sell it right back
With inflation, bitch, you got hacked
How long do we let it burn while we hold the gas?
When will they fucking learn that they are the past?
And this might be it, this is our last chance
It's hell on a Sunday, black mass
Danny: You swear to God you've got the answers
And then you hold them all for ransom
Is this the hour that we stand up?
Someday you'll pay
These cracks, they form before the fall
J-Dog: You better get in line or get outta the way
Charlie Scene: They're tryna get another kill by the end of the day
Charlie Scene and J-Dog: As they call, light the bomb, lies fed from their pops
The only son, the chosen one, so your mom better pray
Tough boots to walk in as the bombs are dropping
Gone but not forgotten, don't drop the coffin
All these lies they're talking, I hear my maker calling
All this pain it's causing, hear the army stomping
J-Dog: Nothing to lose, only something to prove
Charlie Scene: The world's divided in two, so what path do I choose?
J-Dog: Walk a mile in my shoes, I'll stay paying my dues
Charlie Scene and J-Dog: It's left me broken and bruised and next they're coming for you
Danny: You swear to God you've got the answers
And then you hold them all for ransom
Is this the hour that we stand up?
Someday you'll pay
These cracks, they form before the fall
Just wanna taste the fruit of good and evil just like you
Breathing every single lie into my lungs
And if ignorance is bliss, then maybe we could make a wish
Call me crazy, let's just crash into the sun
Crash into the sun
You swear to God you've got the answers
And then you hold them all for ransom
Is this the hour that we stand up?
Some day you'll pay
These cracks, they form before the...
These cracks, they form before the fall, woah
