Lyrics
When God Can't Wait
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.
The kids are united, that's what we say
Sometimes you've got to shovel shit
To make a little pay
When we hear the whistle we break the gate
To lead 'em to freedom when God can't wait
God can't wait for sinners to come home
God can't wait for saints to stand alone
Fight the fight that fighters like to fight
Bleed to blood
That gets you through the night
We rebuilt the mission but broke the bell
The only way to heaven
Is straight through living hell
Someone phone a taxi to take us home
To our brothers and sisters and we'll live on
God can't wait for sinners to come home
God can't wait for saints to stand alone
Fight the fight that fighters like to fight
Bleed to blood
That gets you through the night
They think by shooting bullets
It'll make us dance
Tell the fucking enemy
They stand no fucking chance
When we hear the whistle we break the gate
To lead 'em to freedom when God can't wait
Lead 'em to freedom when God can't wait
Lead 'em to freedom when God can't wait
Lead 'em to freedom, we'll lead 'em to freedom
Lead 'em to freedom, we'll lead 'em to freedom
Lead 'em to freedom, we'll lead 'em to freedom
