Salt (In the Wounds) of the Earth, Pt. 1 Songtext
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Now I look at you and discover
You′re afraid to die
As the lover on your left arm
Puts a baby on your right
What you gonna do?
I've known better souls than you
To self-destruct
And lesser to find favor
With the Lord above
What you gonna do?
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Good, here′s a sinner's prayer
A torch for the saint to bear Through the darkness
Over all other sinners there
But won't keep your distance
Jesus tells us children to be in the world
Not of it
To protect our minds
From any thought of changing
In these dangerous times
What you gonna do?
Choose now and forever
Who you′re running from
These savage non-believers
Or your lover, boy
What you gonna do?
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Now I look at you and discover
You′re afraid to die
As the lover on your left arm
Puts a baby on your right
What you gonna do?
I've known better souls than you
To self-destruct
And lesser to find favor
With the Lord above
What you gonna do?
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Good, here′s a sinner's prayer
A torch for the saint to bear Through the darkness
Over all other sinners there
But won't keep your distance
Jesus tells us children to be in the world
Not of it
To protect our minds
From any thought of changing
In these dangerous times
What you gonna do?
Choose now and forever
Who you′re running from
These savage non-believers
Or your lover, boy
What you gonna do?
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
