Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hand on The Bible lies, maggots turn to flies
Whole world's gone to hell, momma's back in jail
Just can't get enough, think we've had too much
Gunfire in the schools, melt down the golden rule
Wear your promise ring, the preacher's got a thing for me
Keep it to yourself, the whole world's gone to hell
[Chorus]
A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin
To make more room for the poison
And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
And the louder one above the rest will call himself a rebel
There's the one you know, and there's the one you don't
But they're still both the devil
[Verse 2]
You work hard for the man
Spare the rod, hell, use your hands
The hate'll break you down, you're the toughest guy in town
Oh say, can you see the nearest pharmacy?
Yeah, needle to the vein might be the thing that'll kill the pain
Go trade away your soul
You swear the world will never know that you were even here
How he whispers in your ear
[Chorus]
A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin
To make more room for the poison
And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
And the louder one above the rest will call himself a rebel
There's the one you know, and there's the one you don't
But they're still both the devil
[Bridge]
As I lay me down
Go on, get behind thee now
[Chorus]
A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin
To make more room for the poison
And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
And the louder one above the rest will call himself a rebel
There's the one you know, and there's the one you don't
But they're still both the devil
