Shoot from the back
and take good aim
Make sure I'm dead
'Cause I'm a rat
there's no mistake
Under the bed
where you sleep
Crush the skull
make me tame
Sweep it up
Hide it away
No morals shown
in no way explained
Stupid human
Shit for brains
And draw tiny pictures
'round all the dead leaves
Bag and burn
Throw your judgements
across the breeze
Bag and burn
You live inside of
your Jesus dream
Bag and burn

(No Vocals)
Get some sleep
or lie in wait
Until the day
I burn away
Forget the cause
present the case
to bring me down
lose your words
I'll follow you
into the grave
and at the gates
I see the passing say,
"The judge be judged,
and all the wretched be saved."
I throw my curse
all across your days
And draw tiny pictures
'round all the dead leaves
Bag and burn
Throw your judgements
across the breeze
Bag and burn
You live inside
your Jesus dream
Bag and burn

And draw tiny pictures
'round all the dead leaves
Throw your judgements
across the breeze
Watch them float off
to never be saved
And You live inside
your Jesus dream
