Quotable Lyrics

Your life could depend on the laws of average
The difference between black and white is mad privilege
Lucifer sun of the morning
Who swore we'd ignored every one of them warnings
But try to run for cover under one of them awnings
'Cause here the storm come
Tell the Lord time for His encore performance
