You charge the voters by the hour
With a look so sweet and a taste so sour
So bring your blades, chop heads of state
Or loop the rope and kick away the crate
Can I get a witness, or will we let the sleeping dogs lie in?
The best of our intents will kill us all
The price of fear will cost us dear
So you'd best turn off all those televisions
The words between the lines are clear
If you ditch the cross and the superstition
Can I get a witness, or will we let the sleeping dogs lie in?
The best of our intentions blind our eyes and burn our skin
I'll believe in something it doesn't take a leap of faith to see
The things we do while we're alive are all that matter to me
