John Brown's Body Shake The Dice Lyrics

We gonna send fire to teach you shake the dice
We might take all that you own
So when you say another word we will see through games
and lies
So don’t you dare make a sound
So you tumble down you’re breaking your bones
The steeper the road you go
Yet we all keep fighting just to play
Said I can't pretend the disease don’t show now you’re
addicted and broke
Betting you can float, but in this slippery town
Just take a step and you’ll drown
Same time while you’re belly’s full we can’t get food
enough
So shake in your boots we shout we figure it out
We breaking you down
So are you strong enough not to call or bluff
Strong enough to be free from games we play?

Shake up the dice and throw play your hand or you fold
Shake up the dice and throw decide are you gonna fight
or make peace with me
Shake up the dice and throw hypnotized we stumble
Shake up the dice and throw decide are you gonna fight
or make peace with me?

Our politician’s hands are greased they sold out to
the beast Represents the great seal watch as they compromise
ideals
Why it’s a law, Fam witnessed and saw man
They put the guns in the hands of the youth that lost
all hope
Set up as the scapegoat so people won’t know the true
Nature of the beast now watch here is the key
With just a slight of the hand the crowd it goes wild
They tighten down our shackles and all we seein’ is
smiles
They shaking the dice it’s just an ego device
Got addicted to games and now they’re playing with life
I’m on a world tour with Elras my man
With a Mic in our hands, revealing terrorist plans

You play me too far, now we coming to your own home
To make you give what you owe
You can’t help the way you shudder and shake you’re
thinking too slow
You better wait ‘til you’re grown
You can’t play your card deceiving the crowd, so keep
on watching your mouth
Or maybe truth will come out
Don’t break your neck just to steal the prize play for
something real
