Dead and Gone

Dead and gone You think you know me but I'm wiser than chess I was born to attest Confess God only knows how the rest of you bless Children screaming I want so the parents get it I guess You earn less You don’t sleep because you didn't quite give it your best The woman you love is sleeping in an apartment with a man who takes care of his mess Goes jogging in the mornings to keep from growing older digest Wakes up one morning with a gun at his chest Get out of town or the blood will flow like the rivers of tears I cried to kill flesh I am the saviour and you are my quest so lay down before me or by the name of the lord; then you can figure out the test.
