Paid the Piper Songtext

von The Jakes

Paid the Piper for your damned religion
Lookin' up at the stars for signs of it
Bet on mercenaries like twin race cars
Tell me why this corruption ain't all your fault

Waiting by the yard your fine
Children's guns, they fire by night
Bullets in the dark
Your life, well it's hard

So you bring it up baby
Just let it down again
And say the world has screwed you
Because you're buying everything
There's a price to be in heaven
'Cuz lord it ain't for free
You need divine intervention
Come sanctify me

Wait for him in the back, he's got your dough
There've got to be taxes so let the murders grow
What's wrong with this boy his neck is snapped
You better run from the police cuz they've got your ass

Waiting by the yard your fine
Children's guns, they fire by night
Bullets in the dark
Your life, well it's hard

So you bring it up baby
Just let it down again
And say the world has screwed you
Because you're buying everything
There's a price to be in heaven
'Cuz lord it ain't for free
You need divine intervention
Come sanctify me

Run, Jack, Run
You say, run, Jack, Run
Run, Jack, Run
You say, run, Jack, Run

Run, Jack, Run
You say, run, Jack, Run
Run, Jack, Run
You say, run, Jack, Run

Run, Jack, Run
You say, run, Jack, Run
Run, Jack, Run
You say, run, Jack, Run

Run, Jack, Run
You say, run, Jack, Run
You say, run, Jack
Run Jack, run Jack

So you bring it up baby
Just let it down again
And you say the world has screwed you
But you're buying everything
There's a price to be in heaven
'Cuz lord it ain't for free
You need divine intervention
Come sanctify me
