Cry For Help
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.
You've been hiding out for quite a while now
Livin' off of people you know
Trying to raise a little money
To pay off all the monkeys
That you met inside the rabbit hole
You're taking candy from the white witch
You're smokin' tea with Mama Kin
Well those a wolf outside a brick house
Screamin "This time I'm gonna blow it in!"
Because the mind is a weapon, see?
And it's got you on your hands and knees
Pull the trigger if you're gonna
We all know that you wanna
Count of 1, 2
1, 2, 3!
CHORUS
You better pray that there's another way out
You better pray that someone's listening now (and doesn't wanna watch you drown)
'Cause when you lie like the devil himself
No angel's gonna hear your cry for help
I know you must really think it's funny
You had everybody fooled in the end
But it's a little unassuming considered how you knew me
I'm the only one that called you a friend
Because the mind is a weapon, see?
But you're not gonna use it on me
Pull the trigger if you're gonna
We all know that you wanna
Count of 1, 2
1, 2, 3!
CHORUS
Count of 1, 2! 1, 2, 3!
For Help!
