I don’t know what’s coming
But I know how it feels
Can’t tell you the weight of the world
But I can tell you that it’s real
I can tell you that I’m lost that I’m gone
That I’m stuck inside a dream
Bleeding in America’s claws
You know, I’m drowning in her teeth
The world is watching but the world doesn’t see
The chaff is rising to kill the wheat
Tried to write you a happy song
Keep you warm on a winter’s eve
But the words they don’t seem to come
Just the poison and the weeds
I know that the sun will shine
And the wind won’t cease to blow
But the rising of the dawn don’t make a difference anymore
They held me under, I couldn’t breathe
Light a fire, and brought me to my knees
the Devil’s at the table
Sitting down to feast
Rubies from the hands of the dead
Wearing robes just like a priest
Gonna find Old Man Spencer
Put a bullet in his brain
Gonna wash the wicked mind
In a holy pouring rain
The world is watching and the world’s gonna see
The chaff is rising to kill the wheat
