Who Paid Them Off? Lyrics by John Brown’s Body

2016

Chorus:
You lost the trust
Who paid them off?
Shooting cause a worry and a fright
And them looting in the bright sunlight
You lost the muscle criminal
Dress up like all the conmen
But them no see we hold the second sight
Who paid them off?
Verse 1:
All decent crew detonate the pressure
Corrupted fool threatening aggressor
Better you keep lying
It's a war confess your dishonesty
Watch how them talk
They gone hear from us
Straight from the source
Blasted idiot
You've got our blood up intensifying
It's a war, you can not deny
So push the people and it cause them to riot
And what you do to innocence it no right
You murderer or you keep them alive
Them never look me in the eye
Verse 2:
Shade and double talk
Them soul for 30 piece of silver sell off
See them a laugh and a ransom it all
No matter what the cost sure them no hear us at all
So we sure you're vision will be clouded tonight
In your delusion say you found paradise
So what do we do in a war to survive?
You'll be confined to revelation time
There's no water, so prepare for flooding we cry
Keep your guard up
We kill them in a rub a dub style
Want no part of it
We no shy
So look me in the eye
Verse 3:
Pray for the youth
Faith provide bless up
Article roots
Fakes them a fess up
Know it's in our rite
Them power
It mess with democracy
Watch how them crawl
No man do we trust
Disease befall you
And bow down now you must
You suck the blood up like parasite
The power, it speak far from poverty
So what you teach the people not bonafide
You will be beaten with the rod and the stripe
Like an undertaker them profit when you die
Them never look me in the eye
And, lord have mercy, it not right
