Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You fault my pride
Don't ever need to 'pologize
As your lips unfold
Shaken purple from the cold
[Verse 2]
You better learn to crawl
You better learn to crawl
Before I walk away
Before I walk away
[Verse 3]
You broke my mouth
The bloody bits are spitting out
Is your grave unscathed
The worm is counting down the days
[Verse 4]
He wants to see you crawl
He wants to see you crawl
Before I walk away
Before I walk away
[Verse 5]
The reds and the whites and abused
The crucified USA
As their hypocrisy unfolds
Oh, hell is truly on its way
[Verse 6]
As the rat, and the fly
They're searching for an alibi
As we await the wrath
They never went to Sunday Mass
[Verse 7]
They want to see us crawl
They want to see us crawl
Before they walk away
Before they walk away
[Verse 8]
The reds and the whites and abused
The crucified USA
As their hypocrisy unfolds
Oh, hell is truly on its way
