lyrics

Cocaine on the Sabbath just like the Priest called for
A shame for the ones that were left at the altar
Where do you find such a delicate concept
The truth may surprise you but nobody wants it

You preach and you teach but your teacher don’t love you
Fight for your sight ‘cause you know they know Kung Fu
Pull out the sword and take a step back now
Kicking in the doors, it’s a government crackdown

Talking in circles, you ain’t fooling no one
Never really sure why they thought what they did was fun
They’re looking and laughing about one another
They’ve wasted your mother, your sister, your brother

Talk to the King and the Queen in the river
They wanna take me to the clouds but I know I’ll just shiver
Well I’m dying in the heat so I’m making pink lemonade
but heat don’t beat freedom, so tell me, who’s more afraid

Cocaine on the Sabbath just like the Priest called for
Shame for the ones that were left at the altar
Where do you find such a delicate concept
The truth may surprise you but nobody wants it
