[Verse 1]
Hand on the Bi
ble Lies, Magg
ots turn to fl
ies
The whole worl
d’s gone to he
ll, Mama’s bac
k in jail
I just can’t g
et enough, I t
hink we’ve had
to much
Gunfire in the
schools, tear
down the gold
en rules
Wear your prom
ise ring, the
preacher’s got
a thing for m
e
But keep it yo
urself, the wh
ole world’s go
ne to hell
[Chorus]
A snake will c
rawl the earth
to shed it sk
in, To make mo
re room for th
e poison
And the filthy
rich will rob
ya clean, unt
il we raise ou
r voices
And the louder
one above the
rest will cal
l themself a r
ebel
There’s the on
e you know and
there’s the o
ne you don’t…
But they’re st
ill both the d
evil
[Verse 2]
Work hard for
the man, spare
the rod hell

The hate’ll br
eak you down,
you’re the tou
ghest guy in t

Oh say can you
see, The nea
rest pharmacy
Yeah needle to
the vein, mig
ht be the thin
g that’’ll kil
l the pain
Gonna trade aw
ay your soul,
you swear the
world will nev
er know
That you were
even here, how
it whispers i
n your ear
[Chorus]
A snake will c
rawl the earth
to shed it sk
in, To make mo
re room for th
e poison
And the filthy
rich will rob
ya clean, unt
il we raise ou
r voices
And the louder
one above the
rest will cal
l themself a r
ebel
There’s the on
e you know and
there’s the o
ne you don’t…
But they’re st
ill both the d
evil
[Solo]
(Only 1-bar of F in the song)
[Bridge]
As I lay me d
own, Go-on get
behind meeeee
eeeee now
[Chorus]
A snake will c
rawl the earth
to shed it sk
in, To make mo
re room for th
e poison
And the filthy
rich will rob
ya clean, unt
il we raise ou
r voices
And the louder
one above the
rest will cal
l themself a r
ebel
There’s the on
e you know and
there’s the o

But they’re st
