You are so well meaning and I hear the intent behind your misguided lines
Your hollow love is a waste of time I can see it in your eyes
Real love’s the opposite of apathy
Tell ‘em something that will save their souls
The truth is baby your love is a lie
And your love will be the death…
The death of Rock N’ Roll

Your love will be the death of all rock n roll whooooo oh oh

The cross is gonna be a stumbling block to those who will perish
I understand your discomfort now I can see it in your eyes
Do you love to sit and watch people die
Or tell me would you die for love
The truth is baby you love is a lie
And your love will be the death
The death of Rock N’ Roll

I saw one hanging on a tree
In agony and blood
Who fixed His languished eyes on me
As near His cross I stood
Sure, never to my latest breath,
Can I forget that look;
It seemed to charge me with His death,
Though not a word He spoke.

Oh it’s my wretched heart
That nailed Him to that tree
Oh it’s His broken heart
That paid the price for me

My conscience felt and owned the guilt,
And plunged me in despair,
I saw my sins His blood had spilt,
And helped to nail Him there.
A second look He gave, which said,
“I freely all forgive;
This blood is for thy ransom paid;
I die that thou mayst live.”

O, can it be, upon a tree,
The Savior died for me?
My soul is thrilled, my heart is filled,
To think He died for me!

We got our shot to fight the system
We’ll take a chance and tear it down
Our heads are full of broken dreams.
It’s now or never rise to meet the call

We got our shot to fight the system
We’ll take a chance and tear it down
Our heads are full of broken dreams
It’s now or never rise to meet the
Valor mixed with politics
Disillusion sinkin’ in
We’re wakin’ up to a broken system
Ride or die we’ll burn it the ground

Rip it up and tear it down
We’ll give the world the run around

I wanna change the world with you
Side by side ‘til we’re black N’ blue
Bare fisted in a back ally brawl
We’ll keep on swingin’ when our backs are to the wall

Rip it up and tear it down
We’ll give the world the run around

This is one for the fallen soldier
This is one for the men we’ve left behind
This is one about how we never seem to measure up

There was life that was lost
Tell me now do you think that it’s all in vain
Can it change will it always be the same
Friends will fall we stand and watch them die
Pay no mind to the devil in their eyes
So much for no one left behind

We mourn the loss of the fallen soldiers
But I will not be just one left behind
This solemn vow to give you all I have
And prove myself for the first time this time

I’m sorry my life is so offensive
So sorry I have let you down
If I try would it ever change your mind
To stand as a soldier who endures the pain
Even if they take it all away
Stand tall it’s never gonna be the same

So long dearly beloved
So many times I wished that I was there
So many words I wish that I had said
(Your gone that changes everything)

So long so long
Tip our hats and cry in shame

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler
The gambler
The back biter
Tell ’em that God’s gonna cut ’em down
Tell ’em that God’s gonna cut ’em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head’s been wet with the midnight dew
I’ve been down on bended knee talkin’ to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel’s feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, “John, go do my will!”

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler
The gambler
The back biter
Tell ’em that God’s gonna cut ’em down
Tell ’em that God’s gonna cut ’em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin’ in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What’s down in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down
