Paid the Piper for your damned religion Lookin' up at the stars for signs of it Bet on mercenaries like twin race cars Tell me why this corruption ain't all your fault Waiting by the yard your fine Children's guns they fire by night Bullets in the dark Your life it's hard So you bring it up baby Just let it down again And say the world has screwed you Because you're buying everything There's a price to be in heaven Cuz lord it ain't for free You need divine intervention Come sanctify me Wait for him in the back he's got your dough There've got to be taxes so let the murders grow What's wrong with this boy his neck is snapped You better run from the police cuz they've got your *** Waiting by the yard your fine Children's guns they fire by night Bullets in the dark Your life it's hard So you bring it up baby Just let it down again And say the world has screwed you But you're buying everything There's a price to be in heaven Cuz lord it ain't for free You need divine intervention Come sanctify me Run Jack Run, Run Jack Run… So you bring it up baby Just let it down again And say the world has screwed you But you're buying everything There's a price to be in heaven Cuz lord it ain't for free You need divine intervention Come sanctify me
