Revelations

They don't know who to arrest
The army's out on break
They really need the overtime
But there's more than that at stake
They've been out on maneuvers
But the enemy's not clear
While they heard them in the suburbs screaming
Keep them out of here

Cause now it's in their backyards
The captain said hey where they gonna go
There's no place in this world that is safe now
Say it isn't so everybody knows

They're drawing sketches in the courtrooms
And conclusions at the fort
If they get the ammunition
They'll alter their report
The sun sets on south central
But it's burning holes uptown
They can't put out the fires
Cause the heat keeps coming down

And you can't save your money here
So you better save your soul
Burn your name in the Book of Life
Your money burns a hole Your money just burns a hole Yea

Your money burns a hole . ., Save your soul

Now kids are throwing bottles
Police are catching flak
Politicians are shaking hands
Everybody's shaking back
They've got cameras down the block
Shooting scenes of the crowds
This movie's on the news
America stands proud

Lincoln's rolling over in his grave
The Statue of Liberty is starting to sink
The founding fathers all know what went wrong now
It's bigger than you think It's bigger than you think

Yea It's bigger than you think . . . We're starting to sink

Now the Good Lord is set to judge
With His Staff of Truth in hand
The Son is by His side
They've got the battle plan
And there's now doubt when the fires go out
Where the victory's concerned
The victors in the eyes of the Lord
As the Son of Man returns

So get your duckies in a row
The table's almost set and dinner's on the way
There's no telling when it will be served but
The devil's gonna pay The devil's gonna pay

Yea The devil's gonna pay . . . The King is on the way
