Lyrics

 Devil's got a cut -- like a
 slit in a cattle's calf
 dollar-sign snakes
 I'm all in the -- damn
 god-less -- fearless of the
 flood -- or the blood
 of the coming Spring.
 Something is shedding its
 scales -- crying from the
 heat -- of the light
 or the empty shell on the
 stage... -- "And cash is the
 poor man's money.Cash is
 the poor man's money" --
 "And cash is the poor man's
 money.
 Cash is the poor man's
 money"
 
 SO YOU SAY "GOD,"
 AND I SAY, "SAY10"
 YOU SAY, "GOD"
 AND I SAY, "SAY10"
 
 SAY SAY SAY 10
 
 Open your mouth, love
 like a gutted church 
 my goat horns -- are
 napalm trees, and a
 crown of thorns -- is hard
 to swallow. -- You should
 pray now, -- Is it above or
 is it below?
 You should pray now,
 Is it above or is it below?
 
 SO YOU SAY "GOD,"
 AND I SAY, "SAY10"
 SAY SAY SAY10
 
 YOU SAY "GOD"
 AND I SAY, "SAY10"
 SAY SAY SAY 10
 
 Cocaine and Abel
 I don't baptize whores
 I'm a legend -- I'm not a
 fable. Cocaine and Abel
 -- I don't baptize whores
 -- I'm a legend -- I'm not
 a fable. -- Cocaine and Abel
 -- I don't baptize whores
 -- I'm a legend
 I'm not a fable.
 Cocaine and Abel -- I don't
 baptize whores
 I'm a legend -- I'm not a
 fable. You should pray
 now, -- Is it above or is
 it below?
 You should pray now,
 Is it above or is it below?
 
 YOU SAY "GOD,"
 AND I SAY, "SAY10"
 SAY SAY SAY10
 YOU SAY "GOD"
 AND I SAY, "SAY10"
 SAY SAY SAY 10
 SAY SAY SAY 10
 SAY SAY SAY 10
