lyrics

This is a revolution…


I said
"Don't leave me here for dead.
Crooked frame was better than this
Shit I miss my hospital bed.
I'm worth much more with blood
flowing through my chest I hope it'll rise again.
No I don't wanna fight my way out of here
Please just let me live instead."

I said
"Hold on dead preacher
Skeleton man
Let me swim back to where I came from
Please take my hand."
He said
"Take me granted
You've done it before.
You knew that there was no going back
When you washed up on that shore.

So you gotta fight
Make things right
You gotta dance with death tonight
And see the light."
I looked upon him
Dead-set eyes
I knew that one day I would die someday
But not this time!
No!

Not this time…

She said
"Don't leave him here for dead.
I'll straighten out this crooked frame
He never liked this hospital bed.

Hold on dear healer,
Medicine man,
Let me take him back to where he came from
You've done all you can."
He said
"He takes you for granted
But I bet you've heard that before
This isn't a prison; do what you need to do
And walk out that door.

But let me tell you…
you gotta fight
All through the night
You gotta guide him through this darkness
Make him see the light."
She looked upon him
Tears in her eyes
She knew that someday I would die
But not this time!
No!

She brought me a mocha… begged me to wake up.
Ooo that sweet, sweet taste…
Nothing like it.

Life is the trip, death is home
'Bout to die… fuck you all
I killed the preacher, broke his bones
If I die I won't die alone
Imma take at least a few of you with me
They put my chances at less than fifty
Ha! I've beat worse
I won't be laid to rest in some cheap hearse
Don't call it a comeback I planned this all
I'm already dead so I cannot fall
When I get out of this place man I'll run shit
Da Don DaDa ain't nothing to fuck with
Life is the trip, death is home
And I'm never going back I don't plan to die
I am the land, the sea, and the sky
As above, so below… as am I

This is where
I belong
Far far far
Away from home
If I die
I won't die alone
I will wait
Until the Sun explodes

This is where
I belong
Far far far
Away from home
If I die
I won't die alone
We're too late
Judgment day has come
