Voltaire Oh Lord (wake The Dead)
You better look down and shake your head Look down and shake your head Get down and shake a leg Get down and shake a leg You'll jump down and wake the dead Jump down and wake them Oh lord, Oh lord. You better look down and shake your head Look down and shake your head Get down and shake a leg Get down and shake a leg You better jump down and wake the dead Jump down and wake them Oh lord, Oh lord.
Oh lord, can it be true? These things they say about you Ooh, what am I to do? Oh lord. 0 When I looked out of my window, Everything I see Is hate and murder, Stabbin', stealin', Rape and larceny Well I heard that you Can stop it, lord, But you just let it be It'd make ya look down And shake your head
They act like rabid monkeys Chained up in a zoo And the bible says that Each of us was modeled after you Well hell that should offend you, Lord, if it does here's what you do: You oughta look down and shake your head Look down and shake your head Get down and shake a leg Get down and shake a leg Well jump down and wake the dead Jump down and wake them Oh lord, oh lord.
Oh Lord, Can you see, What this has done to me I've lost my faith with thee... Mostly. Well the preacher on the TV, Tells me if I'm poor I should give him all my money, 'Cause the Lord'll give me more Well, I saw him wink And drag a sack of cash On out the door Well, he bought himself a Cadillac And now I got less than before!
Look down and shake your head Look down and shake your head Get down and shake a leg Get down and shake a leg You better jump down and wake the dead Jump down and wake them Oh lord, Oh lord. You oughta look down and shake your head Look down and shake your head Get down and shake a leg Get down and shake a leg Well jump down and wake the dead Jump down and wake them Oh lord, oh lord.
They say you'll bring down Armageddon They say you'll break the seven seals Well, I hope you bring down Armageddon 'Cause through the fire and brimstone At least I'll finally know you're real! Real, Real, Real, wow!
Oh Lord, how can it be? That you won't talk to me, Oooh, woe. Woe is me. Poor me! Look down and shake your head Look down and shake your head Get down and shake a leg Get down and shake a leg You better jump down and wake the dead Jump down and wake... Oh lord, Oh lord.
Look down and shake your head Look down and shake your head Get down and shake a leg Get down and shake a leg You better jump down and wake the dead Jump down and wake them Oh lord, Oh lord.
People on the street They're ugly, mean and rude They're bumping into me, They're bumping into you. They never say "Excuse me!" Or "How do you do?" Oh Lord! I swear to you the next fool Who come shootin' his mouth off 'Bout his almighty friend up in the sky He's gonna get a mighty load of me When I sound off In the way of a kick Right in his eye Look like my landlord And in the hovel where I sit I always pay my rent And you ain't never fixing shit "Shut yo' mouth!"
You should take a look around, lord, Your world is just the pits Oh lord, Oh lord
