Aurelio Voltaire Oh Lord Wake The Dead Lyrics

You better look down and shake your head
Look down and shake your head
Get down and shake a leg
Get down and shake a leg
You ought to jump down and wake the dead
Jump down and wake them oh lord....oh lord...
You better look down and shake your head
Look down and shake your head
Get down and shake a leg
Get down and shake a leg
You ought to jump down and wake the dead
Jump down and wake them oh lord....oh lord...

Oh lord, can it be true?
These things, they say about you
Oh what am i to do? Oh Lord

When i look out of my window
Everything i see...
Is hate and murder, stabbing, stealing, rape and Larsonie
Well i heard that you can stop it lord but you just let it be?
Should make you look down and shake your head...
They act like rabid monkeys chained up in a zoo
And The Bible states that each of us is modeled after you
Well hell that should offend you Lord
If it does here's what you do:

You better look down and shake your head
Look down and shake your head
Get down and shake a leg
Get down and shake a leg
You ought to jump down and wake the dead
Jump down and wake them oh lord....oh lord...

Oh Lord...
Can't you see?
What this has done to me?
I've lost my faith in thee
Woes me...

Well the preacher on the TV
He tells me if im poor
I should give him all my money cause the lord'll give me more
Well i saw him wink and drag a sack of cash on out the door
Well he bought himself a Cadillac
And now i've got less than before!
Whoa!

Look down and shake your head
Look down and shake your head
Get down and shake a leg
Get down and shake a leg You ought to jump down and wake the dead
Jump down and wake them oh lord....oh lord...
You oughta look down and shake your head
Look down and shake your head
Get down and shake a leg
Get down and shake a leg
You ought to jump down and wake the dead
Jump down and wake them oh lord....oh lord...

They say you'll bring down Armageddon
They say you'll break the seventh seal
Well i hope you bring down Armageddon
Cause through the fire and brimstone
At least i'll finally know you're real!
Real real real WHOA!

Oh lord...
How can it be?
That you won't talk to me?
Oh whoa woes me poor me

Look down and shake your head
Look down and shake your head
Get down and shake a leg
Get down and shake a leg
You ought to jump down and wake the dead
Jump down and wake them oh lord....oh lord...
Look down and shake your head
Look down and shake your head
Get down and shake a leg
Get down and shake a leg
You ought to jump down and wake the dead
Jump down and wake them oh lord....oh lord...

People on the street...
They're ugly mean and rude
They're bumping into me
They're bumping into you!
They never say "Excuse me" or "How do you do?"
Oh lord!
Oh Lord!

I swear to you the next fool who keeps shooting his mouth off
'Bout his "Almighty friend up in the sky"
Is gonna get a mighty load of me when i sound off
In the way of a kick right in his eye! (WOW!)
You're like the landlord of the hovel where i sit
I always pay my rent but you ain't never fixing shi-
Shut yo mouth!
You should take a look around Lord your world is just the pits!
Oh Lord!
Oh Lord!
