Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition Lyrics

[Intro]
Come lay it down (Won't you)
Come burn it down (Can't you)
Lay it down
(The guns) above the ground

[Reprise]
Lay it down (Won't you)
Come burn it down (Can't you)
Lay it down
(The guns) above the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love
You don't know what this love is all about

[Chorus]
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Life-affirming and our spiritual trust
[Reprise]
Lay it down (Won't you)
Burn it down (Can't you)
Lay it down (The guns)
Above the ground (Won't you)

[Pre-Chorus]
Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love
You don't know what this love is all about

[Chorus]
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition

[Bridge 1]
Buddha, Mohammad, and Hindu, Lost 100

[Chorus]
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
People still ask when will Armageddon begin
[Bridge 2]
Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter
Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter
Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter


[Pre-Chorus]
Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love
You don't know what this love is all about

[Chorus]
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition

[Bridge 3]
Do we ever have enough
When we see that blue dove
Do we ever have enough
When we see that blue dove
We want to go where no one's been
No one's been

[Outro]
Come lay it down (Won't you)
Come burn it down (Can't you)
Lay it down (The guns)
Above the ground

About

Genius Annotation

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition discusses hypocrisy among religious people as it comes to conflict; people praising (the lord) then going and violating their religion by performing deeds of war and conflict.

This track has a much more traditional style compared to the operatic rock tracks that the album primarily consists of.
