Gennifer Flowers

Adam says to Lillith, girl the verdict's returned And submission is what he ordered or your body to burn Lillith says to Adam I'll save you the trip And she jumped into the fire like it didn't exist Singing songs to seven sisters while the skin left her lips I'd rather die than compromise a single sin I've committed She cut her wrists on politics And the power of making money turning powerful tricks Getting mixed up in the offices of ethically-lapsed fact detainment And if I got the power to take it, the power to fake it Gennifer Flowers got the power to shake her debasement And if I tell you that I'm one step closer to God And if I tell you that I'm one step closer to God That's the step that'll send you past the edge of the top Don't forget the mess that you left at the bottom Hey Commander, what's the answer at hand You got a five step plan to keep your ass in demand? Step One: Harness the water flowing under the moon Step Two: Harness the debt unless it's hard to reduce Step Three: Harness the strength of populations removed Step Four: Harness the promise that we never renewed Step Five: Just hold a vote so we can tell them we tried, I'm yelling Skinned alive, skinned alive, goodness all good saints have died You're coming down Quit messing around or you'll break it I know a pretty little place where we can get caked and wasted And if I've got the power to take it, the power to fake it Gennifer Flowers got the power to shake her debasement Shake her debasement Shake her debasement Shaker her debasement And if I've got the power to take it, the power to fake it Gennifer Flowers got the power to shake her debasement Hold me, hold me baby I think the state of the world's starting to shape me And when you're shaking it girl, you start to change me The five o clock report says we're crazy Pull it together cause we're coming apart And the preacher says the devil loves a sensitive heart Eddie made a record cause he wanted to prove (It's the face of a venerable kind) That he could harness the feel of when he played in a room (Passing the space where they spent all their time) But the feeling fell flat (And the youth fall disgraced by their animal minds) And his songs sound pretty vacant (Singing love lost the race, but she loves what she finds) And if I've got the power to take it, the power to fake it Gennifer Flowers got the power to shake her debasement Shake her debasement Shake her debasement Shaker her debasement And if I've got the power to take it, the power to fake it Gennifer Flowers got the power to shake her debasement
