Lyrics
Life On Your Knees
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Christ died nailed to a cross
(life on your knees, get down on your knees)
Now he's an icon to the spineless mass
(life on your knees, enforced reality)
Bring your mind forth and submit
(life on your knees, stay down on your knees)
Just let him take you away
(life on your knees, assume conformity)
[ch.]
Welcome to the world of your mindless life
Away from the reality of your lifeless mind
He was no better than the rest of us
Crucified for doing what was right to him
And you'll do no better, we're all slaves
Let go now, look within
[ch.]
Break the chains on your mind
Don't spend your life on your fucking knees
The power is within yourself
Take a hold of your life
If you spend your life waiting for heaven
You'll never get out of hell
