Nail Me Songtext
von Jelly Roll

Never been a stranger to
Nights in the country jail
Been there a time or two
Ain′t proud of it myself

Might smoke a little weed
I've heard the grass is green
There on the other side
Ain′t always what it seems

But I won't hide behind a thousand lies
At least I know who I am

Nail me to the cross outside
Of your ivory tower where you sit so high
On that horse you rode
'Cause I stand here alone

So hit me with the stones you cast
Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass
You don′t think I know
I′m a jester before your throne


How's it feel up there?
Holy up and down
To live without a care
Perfect in and out

I won′t hide behind a thousand lies
At least I know who I am

Nail me to the cross outside
Of your ivory tower where you sit so high
On that horse you rode
'Cause I stand here alone

So hit me with the stones you cast
Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass
You don′t think I know
I'm a jester before your throne

Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

(Faith, through faith)
It is your faith that has saved you
There′s nothing that you have done yourselves
It is a beautiful gift of God
Not because of you, so that no man can boast of his goodness
It's because of the deadly crisis
