B 16. Placed on Pause ft Bobby Sahlen |
LyricsPlaced On Pause© 2015 Bobby Sahlen & Starburst Let's go down to the river, become martyrs here today Worship way beyond redemption, trade some sins so we can play On a mountain full of ammo, near a bridge we mustn't close We've a bold impassioned vision and we're ready to explode (chorus) I'm dying now, you said so Rising to a higher cause You're lying now, I think so But my judgment's placed on pause Count my wives, they are a-plenty, procreation run amuck Off the grid we make our own rules, leaving nothing to pure luck Got more lawyers on retainer, so we'll never go to jail We're a cult of our own making, come and listen to our tale (chorus) I'm dying now, you said so Rising to a higher cause You're lying now, I think so But my judgment's placed on pause (instrumental break) (chorus) I'm dying now, you said so Rising to a higher cause You're lying now, I think so But my judgment's placed on pause Under pretense of religion no taxes paid at all We're an island in a country where our brethren hear the call Where the women and the children abrogate their every right And the reason to be living is to journey toward the light (chorus) I am dying now, you said so Rising to a higher cause You're lying now, I think so But my judgment's placed on pause You're lying now, I think so But my judgment's placed on pause |
