lyrics

You heard them shouting from the roof tops saying,
this is god’s job but i’m doing it for him,
‘cause he asked me to.

Shouting past the gun shots saying,
this is god’s job but i’m doing it for him,
‘cause he told me to.

One minute later i’d be laying on the floor.
As the blood begins to pour
and my head it feels so sore now.

I see them running through my neighbour hood.
It’s do or die will they survive,
‘cause I know that I won’t make it out alive.

So mama if you can hear
and daddy please don’t cry.
I’m safer than where I was
the day they took away my life.

The bullets they flew from riffles
and the screams were heard for miles.
They shouted about disciples,
I guess religion made them blind.

You heard them shouting god’s commandments,
saying this is their redemption and they’re doing it for him,
‘cause he asked them to.

They bleed for their religion,
and it’s god’s decision.
So they’re doing it for him, cause he told them to.

One minute later i’d be laying on the floor.
As the blood begins to pour
and my head it feels so sore now.

I see them running through my neighbour hood.
It’s do or die will they survive,
‘cause I know that I won’t make it out alive.

So mama if you can hear
and daddy please don’t cry.
I’m safer than where I was
the day they took away my life.

The bullets they flew from riffles
and the screams were heard for miles.
They shouted about disciples,
I guess religion made them blind.

bless them father for they have sinned.
All the victims they chose to kill,
all the people they left in horror and pain.

Bless them father for they have sinned.
All the victims they chose to kill,
all the people who watch and call their acts insane.
But they’re doing it all again.

So mama if you can hear
and daddy please don’t cry.
I’m safer than where I was
the day they took away my life.

The bullets they flew from riffles
and the screams were heard for miles.
They shouted about disciples,
I guess religion made them blind.
