Lyrics
Needful Things
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 one goes out to all the soul survivors
Soldiers of war reborn
Lord knows they can’t retire
Cut 'em no slack, broken backs
Built the lost empire
That pain was forged in fire
The truce has long expired
(Are you in or in the way?)
Heaven rests in a 357
Push 'em far enough, lord knows they’ll send 'em
To a plane of existence
Reserved for the vicious
I'm wise to the wicked
When the wish list bеcomes a hit list
The curse is liftеd
Are you in or in the way?
Are you in or in the way?
Are you in or in the way?
We want tomorrow, so fuck your yesterday
Cut in line, cut 'em in
Slice the pie razor thin
It’s never free but it’s half the price
They’re getting by but they don’t got the life
You got the grip but they don’t love you
You tangle the truth so they don't trust you
The beast in the mirror, it becomes you
Look 'em square in the eye and say: Fuck you
Are you in or in the way?
Are you in or in the way?
Are you in or in the way?
We want tomorrow, so fuck your yesterday (are you in?)
Are you in or in the way? (Or in the way?)
Are you in or in the way? (Are you in?)
Are you in or in the way? (Or in the way?)
We want tomorrow, so fuck your yesterday
Heaven rests in a 357
Push 'em far enough, lord knows they’ll send 'em
Heaven rests in a 357
Push 'em far enough, lord knows they’ll send 'em
Bang
When the wish list
Becomes a hit list
The curse is lifted
The curse is lifted
Picket signs on the other side of picket fences
Weaponize, defend the defenseless
The kids are coming for you
The kids are coming for you
The kids are coming for you
Are you in or in the way?
You
(Are you in?)
Are you in or in the way? (Or in the way?)
Are you in or in the way? (Are you in?)
Are you in or in the way? (Or in the way?)
We want tomorrow, so fuck your yesterday
