One, two, three, four
It won't be long 'til the money's all gone
And the trucks roll in and shut the power down
And the life I built outta credit and sin
Gets put into collections
As I'm messing with the breaker
Sorting out the problem
Trying to figure out if I really even got one
Lights out, anything goes
Ducking all the crosses, slipping all the low blows
Right now it's just the lightning that glows
As I'm looking for the family
Yeah, but all I ever find is problems
I gotta tell you all about a time back when I had one
Yeah, I had a little boy
I gave him my name
But he gave it back when he moved away
Still, when he'd get cut
I'd get hurt
When he'd get hot
I'd get burnt
Yeah, when I would sing, only he'd get heard
He'd take my twisted words
And turn them into golden raps of profit
When he got rolling, he just couldn't stop it
We lost touch when he left town
I heard he found Jesus when the power shut down
Lights out, anything goes
Ducking all the crosses, slipping all the low blows
Right now it's just the lightning that glows
I think I better make a payment
Yeah, I gotta keep the power running
I think I'd better sing a song that finally makes a little money
So I took my act
Out on the road
And a familiar face tried to save my soul
Said, "You can't have money
You can't have love
If you don't have God in the chamber of your gun
Your finger on the trigger
And the hammer pulled back"
Then it fired off half-cocked
Blocked that back door
Ricocheted
A young man lying 'cross the door jamb
I stepped over the body and walked out into the street
Lights out, anything goes
Ducking all the crosses, slipping all the low blows
Right now it's just the lightning that glows
As I'm looking for the family
Yeah, but I'm still messing with the breaker
I'm always mixing up the saviors and the fakers

One, two, three, four
Lights out, anything goes
Ducking all the crosses, slipping all the low blows
Right now it's just the lightning that glows
As I'm tripping out the breaker
Yeah, looking for the family
Sorting out my problems
Trying to figure out if I ever really had one
