holy rollers gonna take you for a ride
and they won't quit until they take your last dime, because
holy rollers got ya hook, line and sinker
holy rollers trying to stop you from thinking
sell you salvation for life after this earth
they're gonna take you for all that you're worth- because
holy rollers got ya hook, line and sinker
holy rollers only lose when you think for yourself

holy rollers got ya hook, line and sinker
they only lose when you think for yourself

you come in hot, like you aim to please
you pull my trigger but you make me ill at ease
like a tornado, pretending it's a breeze
you know i know that you have the soul disease
if loving you is wrong i don't wanna be wrong
if loving you is wrong i don't want it
if loving you is wrong i don't wanna be wrong
i don't wanna be wrong
there's nothing mighty about your morphine
but still you try to tell me that yer living clean
yer coming at me tryin' to get me in your game
you might be smart but ya got a bad brain
if loving you is wrong i don't wanna be wrong
if loving you is wrong i don't want it
if loving you is wrong i don't wanna be wrong
i don't wanna be wrong
obvious beauty but you're ugly where it counts
we had some fun but ya know I gotta bounce
i see right through you, yer made up all of lies
yer threats don't bother me 'cuz everybody dies
f loving you is wrong i don't wanna be wrong
if loving you is wrong i don't want it
if loving you is wrong i don't wanna be wrong
i don't wanna be wrong

Never Wrestle With a Pig
04:08
|

|
the struggle's real that's how how I feel
ya can't plan for random chance
its own reward, plowshares fromswords
to take a noble stance
it's an uphill climb to walk the line
freedom comes from within
a better world can be unfurled
if we join in with our skin
it's the danse macabre
it's an irish jig
it's the one thing that I warn:
Don't ever wrestle with a pig
never wrestle with a pig
never wrestle with a pig
never wrestle with a pig
once fought a cop he was a pig in slop
put him down and made him see stars
but more pigs came to play their game
and i wound up behind bars
i left the cage and turned the page
but trouble followed close behind
i left it there without a care
now i have my peace of mind
it's the danse macabre
it's an irish jig
it's my one piece of advice:
don't ever wrestle with a pig
never wrestle with a pig
never wrestle with a pig
never wrestle with a pig

Oblivion City

displace you, disgrace you
deface you erase you
making you bitter
for the highest bidder
the mayor lives without a soul
the council is out of control
no recourse for one and all
the enemy is city hall
oblivion city
oblivion city
oblivion
oblivion city
oblivion city
oblivion city
oblivion
oblivion city
short term profits for the few
empty buildings everywhere... but they're new
taking the populace for a ride
defecating on civic pride
all that they do is an ugly shame
ruin the future for a dirty game
desperation, there's never peace
corruption protected by filthy police
oblivion city

feels so good to be outta yer cage
saturday night and you feel kinda mean
tonight you garage against the machine
gonna shake yer ass and act real crass
gonna meet yer friends and have a blast
gonna get up, gonna get down

saturday night and yer gonna rage
feels so good to be outta yer cage
saturday night and you feel kinda mean
tonight you garage against the machine
saturday night and yer gonna rage
feels so good to be outta yer cage
saturday night and you feel kinda mean
tonight you garage against the machine

Wasted days and wasted nights
I have left for you behind
For you don't belong to me
Your heart belongs to someone else
Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true?
And why should I call your name
When you're to blame
For making me blue?
Don't you remember the day
That you went away and left me?
I was so lonely
Prayed for you only
My love
Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true?
And why should I call your name
When you're to blame
For making me blue?
Don't you remember the day
That you went away and left me?
I was so lonely
Prayed for you only
My love
Wasted days and wasted nights
I have left for you behind
For you don't belong to me
Your heart belongs to someone else
Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true?
And why should I call your name
When you're to blame
For making me blue?

When I see you sleeping
The world is in your mind
Dreaming of someone else
And a better life
But I would not wake you
Or take you from the sun

The Genre Mirrors recommends:
It's heavy and weird, just the way I like it
go to album
Yes, this is psychedelic banjo music. I didn't want to believe it either, but that's as true as anything these days. What really matters here is that these are some great songs, and full of depth.
