Ol Dirty Bastard - Goin' Down lyrics

A wooden cross, an angels bed

Decked with nails and strewn in red

And empty garden, our dooming fate

Which day by day we tolerate

A ruined world, a gaping hole

And a prayer for god to save our souls

Wake up, rise and shine

Wake up, 'bout fuckin' time

A glimmer of hope is lost in time

Now is it mindless list of thoughtless crime?

Mother's fate in a child's eyes

Now the innocent crumble under burning skies

The mind's gone blind, for those who could see

Now gently swing from the gallowstree

[chorus]

Tack me up and crucify me

Take me up, come on, wake me up

Sin, jealousy, lies, anger

Wanna try to vie go ahead n' spin the chamber

Rise up

Rise and blind
