power and pistols

you send me to orbit but you shoot me down

you bury my name underneath the ground

this land of the free doesn't mean anything

you bargain for life

for a silver coin you plead

much too far

looking for a righteous man but we choose to be gods

mercy

she left us long ago

but i know there is one we still call a hope

your power and pistols

oh

that's all you know

power and pistols

yeah

power and pistols

that's all you know

power and pistols

yeah

greedy little finger

you rob and you kill

yeah

well

you still got the nerve to call me a nigga? uh

this holy grail you've placed on your head

you seek life

but you also seek death

much too far

looking for a righteous man but we choose to be gods

mercy

she left a long time ago

but i know there's one that we still call a hope

your power and pistols

power and pistols

yeah

power and pistols

that's all you know

power and pistols

blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

oh

you break me down

down to my roots

ah.
