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 ass    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
