Lyrics

[Verse 1]
To all those people doing lines, don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it
'Cause it's not, not what it seems
No, no, it's not, not what it seems
[Verse 2]
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
[Verse 3]
Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh...
[Verse 4]
Doo-doo-doo-doo...
[Verse 5]
To all the parents with sleepless nights, sleepless nights
Tie your kids onto their beds, clean their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it
'Cause it's not, not what it seems
No, no, it's not, not what it seems
[Verse 6]
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
[Verse 7]
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
[Verse 8]
Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh...
