Lyrics

I said hallelujah to the sixteenth loyal Benz
You're gettin' down on your muthafuckin' knees
And it's time for your sickness again
Come on and tell me what you need now
Tell me what is making you bleed
We got two more minutes and
We gonna cut to what you need
So one of six so tell me
One do you want to live
And one of seven tell me
Is it time for your muthafuckin' ass to give
And tell me is it time to get down on your muthafuckin' knees
Come on baby tell me, yes we aim to please
Oh yeah
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Hey Mr. Policeman, is it time for getting away?
Is it time for driving down the motherfuckin' road
And running from your ass today
Now tell me, do you agree now?
Or tell me if I'm makin' you bleed
I got'a two more minutes and
I'm gonna cut to what you need
So one of six so tell me
One do you want to live
And one of seven tell me
Is it time for your muthafuckin' ass to give
Tell me is it time to get down on your muthafuckin' knees
Come on baby tell me, yes we aim to please
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Hallelujah
It's sixteen in the morning
It's time to get down
It's time to let down
And one more time
And one time for your mother
And one time for your mother
And one time for your father
And one time
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
We live in a world overrun by tourists
Tourists, 89 flowers on their back
Inventors of the Accu-jack
They look at life through a pocket camera
What? No flash again?
They're all a bunch of double drags who teach their kids that love is bad
Half of the staff of their brain is on vacation
Mama, are you listening?
We need a new breed, leaders, stand up, organize
Don't let your children watch television until they know how to read
Or else all they'll know how to do is cuss, fight, and breed
No child is bad from the beginning
They only imitate their atmospheres
If they're in the company of tourists, alcohol, and US history
What's to be expected?
It's three minus three, uh huh
Absolutely nothing
We need a new breed
Stand up, organize
A new production of the new breed
Leaders, stand up, organize
A new production of the new breed
Leaders, stand up, organize
A new production of the new breed
Stand up, organize
Sexuality is all I'll ever need
Sexuality, I'm gonna let my body be free
Sexuality is all I'll ever need
Sexuality, I'm gonna let my body be free
Sexuality
