The hand on the Bible lies 
 Maggots turn to flies 
 The whole world's gone to hell 
 Mama's back in jail 
 Just can't get enough 
 Think we've had too much 
 Gunfire in the schools 
 Melt down the golden rule 
 Wear your promise ring 
 Preacher's got a thing for me 
 Keep it to yourself 
 The whole world's gone to hell 
    A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin 
 To make more room for the poison 
 And the filthy rich will rob you clean 
 Until you raise your voices 
 And the louder one above the rest 
 Will call himself the rebel 
 There's the one you know 
 And there's the one you don't 
 But they're still both the devil   
 Work hard for the man 
 Spare the rod, hell use your hands 
 The hate'll break you down 
 You're the toughest guy in town 
 Oh say can you see 
 The nearest pharmacy 
 Yeah, a needle to the vein 
 Might be the thing that'll kill the pain 
 Don't trade away your soul 
 You swear the world will never know 
 That you were even here 
 The foul whispers in your ear   
 A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin 
 To make more room for the poison 
 And the filthy rich will rob you clean 
 Until you raise your voices 
 And the louder one above the rest 
 Will call himself the rebel 
 There's the one you know 
 And there's the one you don't 
 But they're still both the devil   
 As I lay me down 
 Go on get behind me now!   
 A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin 
 To make more room for the poison 
 And the filthy rich will rob you clean 
 Until you raise your voices 
 And the louder one above the rest 
 Will call himself the rebel 
 There's the one you know 
 And there's the one you don't 
 But they're still both the devil
