Lyrics
Where has the time gone
I'm back on my bed
My body aches
As meds flow to my head
I'm in a daze
The stillness of soft light
The highway howls
It's approaching midnight
The moon is high
As the busters fight
The hand of the gun
Who will do it right
In all their snatching
It's me who's catching
The tears that fall
As I ponder it all
The righteous and the wicked
What do you say
I see it on the news
Every single day
Somebody cursed killed somebody blessed
You can be sure they won't pass the test
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Don't let them strive alone
Don't let them run wild
The righteous and the wicked
Is all I see
Shut your mouth
When you're talking to me
You can be sure that I'm fed up
I'll need another moment
drinking blood from a cup
That's right I said it
This time it's for real
But why do you flee
Why do you kill
There's a price you'll pay
Be sure of that
Lie cheat and steal
Carry your gat
Cover your face
It's time to get paid
You won't get away
On the last day
The righteous and the wicked
What do you say
I see it on the news
Every single day
Somebody cursed killed somebody blessed
You can be sure they won't pass the test
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Don't let them strive alone
Don't let them run wild
You shall beat him with the rod
And deliver his soul from Hell
