lyrics

Hey everybody come and lend me your ear
You know the future is uncertain and the end is near
The third world war is coming run as fast as you can
It's climbing in your window snatching every woman and man

I grew up in the church, Momma taught me well
Gave me what people call a passion or can't you tell

But i ain't no jesus christ, for yes I’ve sinned
But God sent me a letter and this is what it read

(It read) I'm going to take this, just as far as I can
The whole damn planet is run by cold blooded man
So take this message as a final resort
Good luck fair warning, signed your savior and lord

G.O.D. is a radio station, playing in my brain
I'm a human antenna, or I’m clinically insane
Now G.O.D. ain't some bearded, all powerful all knowing man
Its nation from another world, and were screwing up the plan

(It read) I'm going to take this, just as far as I can
The whole damn planet is run by cold blooded man
So take this message as a final resort
Good luck fair warning, signed your savior and lord

I don't want your blessing I don't want reward
I don't want to criticize you even though you're at war
I don't want to know what your explanation is
I don't want to stop you all from having ten billion kids

But I am giving you a message that you can all understand

My father's name is David and I'm standing in as the son of man

This album rips off such heavy riffs hard from start to finish. I love the bluesy swing with the vocals, the screaming guitar, thundering bass and delirious, vital, pounding and crashing drums. Every track is great. frogczar
