[Intro | distant clean guitar | vinyl crackle] [Intro | drums enter | bass rises] [Intro | heavy distorted guitar | punchy drums] (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) [Verse | storytelling delivery | steady groove] We hid the truth behind our comfortable lies Watchin the world burn through indiffrent eyes Too busy arguing what's wrong and what's right While the broken disappear and fade right outta sight A woman on the corner tryna make it through the harm People walking past her like sheep on a farm While she's asking for a dollar with a needle in her arm For a bottle of liquor she just tryna keep warm Folded in half on the sidewalk barely breathin Sirens in the background while hustlers decievin Another dead body sprawled out for no reason, Paying taxes while the road is uneven [Pre-Chorus | acapella | quiet | hushed vocals] Pending annihilation it never stop, Day by day waitin for the other shoe to drop... [Chorus 1 | belted vocals | gospel choir backing] We abandoned our values inflicted with sickness, Taking blood from a stone without feeling convicted, Left all of our morals dead with no witness, NO WAY OUT THERE AIN'T NO REST FOR THE WICKED!!! (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) [Verse | storytelling delivery | steady groove] Fathers in a cell kids in juvenile hall Momma workin nights tryna keep the lights on Baby gotta learn to walk barely able to crawl Like moths to a flame trouble always get drawn Rats in the cabinet ants in the kitchen Roaches in the bathroom none of em pitch in Bars on the windows a broken transmission 2 months welfare ain't made a decision Boys on the corner now its do or its die Dough in the oven no slice of the pie It go to the plate of the wolves in disguise Cameras everywhere but blind to they all seeing eye [Pre-Chorus] Gunshots and fireworks on fourth of july Marines get deployed yellin out semper fie Abundance of wealth then defund social service Anxiety high and police feeling nervous [Chorus 2 | belted vocals | gospel choir backing] We abandoned our values inflicted with sickness, Taking blood from a stone without feeling convicted, Left all of our morals dead with no witness, NO WAY OUT THERE AIN'T NO REST FOR THE WICKED!!! (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) [Bridge] There's blood on the concrete, In the form of mahogony stains, Blood in the water, Going down the drain, There's blood on the leaves, Washed away by the rain, Lambs to the slaughter, SCREAMING IN PAAAAAIN [Chorus 3] WE ABANDONED OUR VALUES INFLICTED WITH SICKNESS!!! TAKING BLOOD FROM A STONE WITHOUT FEELING CONVICTED!!! LEFT ALL OF OUR MORALS DEAD WITH NO WITNESS!!! NO WAY OUT THERE AIN'T NO REST FOR THE WICKED!!! WE ABANDONED OUR VALUES INFLICTED WITH SICKNESS!!! TAKING BLOOD FROM A STONE WITHOUT FEELING CONVICTED!!! LEFT ALL OF OUR MORALS DEAD WITH NO WITNESS!!! NO WAY OUT THERE AIN'T NO REST FOR THE WICKEEEEEED!!! (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) [Outro | fade out] (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh) (Oh oh oh ooooh oh-oh oh-oh)
