_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm so sorry, _ please forgive me.
Who do I pray to?
To straighten out this problem, straighten out this problem, straighten out my mind.
_ Straighten out this crooked tongue, this crooked tongue, this crooked tongue.
My mind has wandered from the straight and narrow, my mind has wandered from the block you see.
My mind has wandered, the man has said so, my mind has wandered, I heard it on TV.
And the clock has wandered away from me now.
All around the world now, _ like a _ cherry flower, _ _ _ _ _ point and go, _ he needs to get there.
_ _ _ Here it comes like a _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ rushing over, [C#] _ whoever _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ is hiding [D#] there, _ _ such a fool would bust in.
_ [C#m] Here it comes [C#] from the dead of day, [F#] cringing or [C#] _ groaning, _ [D#] saying hello [A] to the soul.
_ I [C#m] am a virus, are you the cure?
_ I am more than, I'm more than impure.
I am a disease and I am unclean.
I am not part of God's world machine.
_ Christian nation, stimulate me, _ [F#] take me in your, [C#m] set me free.
_ [C#] I am part of a ditch and a red leafy, dragging our sight into the street, yeah.
Into the abyss, into [F#] the sewage of your sea.
The [A] man just told me, [D#] he told me on TV.
_ Do you think you're better than me?
Do you want to kill me or be friendly?
And the [C#] alcohol bastard, planted his finger in me, and his voice was filled with evangelical glee.
[C#m] Now, sipping down [C#] his gin and tonics, [F#] a small creature of after,
[C#m] fevers of narcotics and the evils of sex, and the wages of skin whitening.
And then he fondles his next of kin, because my mind is haunted.
The flock you see, as the flock has wandered [D#] away from me.
[C#m] As he waved his hypnotizing finger at me.
Now, let's retake reality.
[D#] _ _ _ Let's fight for mediocrity.
[C#] _ _ _ [F#] Let's make believe we're all the same.
[A] _ _ _ [C#m] Let's sanitize our new brains.
[D#] _ _ Sassy.
I'd love to take you home with me and talk you into bed.
I'd love to see you make you tick [C#] inside that pretty head.
[F#] I'd love to hear you laugh tonight.
[C#] I'd love to hear you weep.
[D#] I'd love to listen to you while [A] you're swaying.
You're swaying.
Christian [C#]
songs, Christian daughters.
Feed me long like lamb to the sloth.
_ Proof of my brain, [C#m] holds down my soul.
White perfection, perfection is my goal.
What do you think?
[C#] You're better than me.
Do [F#] you want to kill me, [C#m] or befriend me?
Christian nation, make us alright.
Put us to the filter, and make us pure and white.
Because my mind is [C#]
wandered from the flock you see.
As the flock has wandered [D#m] away from me.
And [C#m] the flock has found me dead.
Even though we sit and watch the slaughter.
Have been led into abortions.
Unimaginary daughters.
White folks, white inks at the top.
Ask any proud white male, a million years.
Devon, you get dead quick.

[C#] by Jerry Clout.
[F#] _ _
Traveling [A] from here to there.
_ [C#m] TV, text, [D#m] and _ telephones.
Here it comes, [D#] just like the storm.

[A] beast take us home.

[C#m] I'd love to see inside your [D#] mind and tear it all apart.
[C#m] To cut you open with a knife [C#] and find your sacred heart.
[F#] I'd love to take your satin [C#] dolls and tear them all to shreds.
[D#] I'd love to mess your pretty [A] hair.
I'd love to see you dead.
