Put your pocketbooks away My soul can't be bought through the loss of one day 'Cause you know that you are the same As me when we move from your ideology The situation is out of control Some reach for their Bibles I reach for my soul 'Cause you bleed red and so do I Who's to say that you're wrong or to say that I'm right? And was I just k**ing time? Was I just filling space sitting on a land mine Sipping drinks that were laced?
