Verse 1
Blind man, last Bible
Blind lead the blind, do you follow? (hey!)
They worshiping false idols (hey!)
Lord forgive them for they're not (x3)
Knowing
You know that, you're all knowing
You see the cancer won't stop growing
These people turn themselves into science projects
But can't nobody tell me that I am not blessed
In the belly of the beast
Where the vultures are all gluttons
Everybody dead meat
Ironic I'm the blind man yet no one else can see
What's transpiring
You made them miss when the guns fired
Though he made a mess when that one fired
I never lost faith
I never went astray
I just always kept straight
Headed west on the street
Eli, they cheat, they steal, they lie
They took the book to make plight
Yet to his chagrin
Knew not the language it is written in
We'll continue at daylight

Verse 2
She said a prayer, she saw the wicked
Look out your window, it's post apocalyptic
All you false prophets ain't gotta lie to kick it
Cursed be the ground, for our sake
It brings forth to us thorns and thistles
The earth's been burned by us, torched by missles
Ain't much holy here
I.e. more liquor, whores and pistols
Thank you for giving me strength and conviction
To complete the task you entrusted to me
Those in my way, they're all busters to me
If I must say, they ain't fuckin' with me
Thank you Lord for a warm bed to sleep on
Thank you for food we're about to eat on
Thank you for companionship
In hard times like these, Amen
