God

Feather
Is lighter

Pound of bricks or pound of feathers
Is the feather lighter?
Want to go darker
Do you want to go lighter?

LYRICS
Take your inside for a ride
Don’t leave your mind
Behind
Get your behind into gear
The future’s not to fear
You know
Where to go
This is your show
Better get on the stage
Before the passage of your age
May your heart reside
Outside
So you mind can find
Kind

LYRICS
Is that what you really wanted to happen
It’s a given…
She’ll make you cry
Is this what you really thought was heaven
Dante’s oven…
You’re gonna fry
You’re gonna fry
When you die
When you die
Do you know
Is this where you wanted to go
Do you care
That you’re already there
Sitting in your holding cell
Waiting at the gates of hell
Waiting at the gates of hell
Or can’t you tell?

LYRICS
If you can’t sing
And you can’t dance
Do you even stand a chance
Of being free
Can you tell me?
Here’s the thing

Give you a fighting chance
Of being free
You’re tellin’ me
What you bring
To the dancehall dance
Gives your soul a chance
Of being free
Lord, set me free!

LYRICS
Was it Job or Leviticus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time to cry n’ fuss
Squeeze the puss… scream and kick
The Reaper’s sickle
Reaping quicker
Isn’t that fickle
Ripping quicker, quicker
Ripping sicker quicker
Was it Moses or Jesus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time for all of us
To refuse to be then next brick
And it’s just as well
If you cast the spell
Upon you
The spawn of demon’s hell
Angels fell
’cause of you

LYRICS
It’s hard to believe
The misdeed
Hard to concede
To tyranny
You know it can’t come to fast
For karma to kick ’em in the ass
It’s hard to believe
The misdeed
Hard to concede
To tyranny
You know it will come at last
When all things will pass
It’s hard to conceive
The sheer greed
Hard receive
Wantin’ta grieve
Has the role in which you’re cast
Thrown you behind a scary mask
It’s hard to conceive
The sheer greed
Hard receive
Wantin’ta grieve
All your gall and bombast
A shadow in which you bask
All your gall and bombast
A shadow in which you bask

I’d like to thank you
For all you o
Even a penny or dime
Which happens all the time
You take it on the chin
Again and again
And, I’d like to thank you

To hear it
Share it
Let the music play on
Give twice out what’s taken in
Again and again

When you hear the music playing
You know it’s time to be coming

May it spread across the land, landing
In peace love and understanding

Sailing down that endless stretch of highway
To my home in the sky on Promised Day
Shifting through the gears

LYRICS
Lady Liberty stands over our country
Blind justice, totally
When freedom is the cost
I fought the law, and the law lost
Make truth and justice the American way again
When the po-po does a no-no is what I’m sayin’
When freedom is the cost
I fought the law, and the law lost
Color the artist white or blacker
All musicians’ lives matter
When freedom is the cost
I fought the law, and the law lost

LYRICS
First ya think it’ll never
Then it comes together
Determination for soul-ution
First ya think it’ll never
Then it comes together
Eradication of pollution
What the heck
Better hit the deck
It’s a war zone
911 on the phone
Still, he won’t leave me alone
The lights are on but no one’ home
Thorn in lion’s paw
Mouse takes out in awe
Determination of solution
First ya think it’ll never
Then it comes together
Determination for soul-ution
Just as well
Damned to hell
Now the scene
We shall clean
Sooner or later everything passes
Even for the biggest asses
