Lyrics
You Can't Keep a Bad Man Down
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.
This criminal apathy's a sound that deafens all around
A heavy tranquilizer for all
It's the cloggin that is making us stall
A lie that still endears for millions of years
Will one day cause the gospel to fall
And don't you think it's time that we stopped?
Don't you think it's time that we stopped?
Here's to song! to scream! believe
Believe me, the rest will come naturally
Rest will come naturally
When you've pissed our last and burned the candle fast
The rest will come naturally
End will come naturally
Don't you know
That drop in all the ocean
Is a prayer for all the world
Brings him down and shuffles him around
Not a care for all the world
Stares at all the world
Cuts open his face, there's not a drop to waste
We run him till his tiny hearts pops!
And don't you think it's time that we stopped?
Don't you think it's time that we stopped?
All around and everywhere at once
A vacant care, why are you so concerned?
Why do you never learn to stop and look
Just wait for your point to be raised naturally
Truth will come naturally
Don't you know
That drop in all the ocean
Is a prayer for all the world
Brings him down and shuffles him around
Not a care for all the world
Stares at all the world
All these pretty things you've traded
Now you care
But your world is for more
Now you're missing the war
All these pretty things you've wasted
Now you crave
But your world is for more
Now your missing the war ill be here
Eyes stick and eyes still wonder round endlessly
All you fucking pigs you have crucified us, crucified us
Don't you think it's time that you stopped?
Eyes stick and eyes still wonder round endlessly
All you fucking pigs you have crucified us, crucified us
Don't you think it's time that you stopped?
