Salvation - Citizen Cope

Say Judas came up to D.C.

He’d been down in Georgia for a while

He drove a 944

He bought with the soul

Of a blonde-headed kid

With a left-handed guitar

Now he’s lookin’for me Citizen C-O-P-E

Sign the dotted line please

For the fake 50's

Now Judas answer me

«Since I was the age to speak

Haven’t you been listening?»

Salvation

Salvation

Salvation

Salvation

I’m calling

Salvation

Well he came to town

Found the woman that I love

And he fucked her down

She told him where I live

Off of 9th in the alleyway

Where they say

They got the coke and the dope

Until you end up broken

«You should have let the smack get you"he said

«But now you’ve got to deal with me instead

I’m downstairs on the Motorola

You know I’ve got 3 golden bullets

And I’m shooting for your soul»

Salvation

Well I came down with my Martin blazin'

My voice

It was cutting him up Now he’s aiming

His first shot grazed my eye

I lost half of my sight

And my firstborn’s life

The second shot grazed off my guitar moon

And it made my guitar kinda play out of tune

But I just kept playing

Like I had nothing to lose

He turned the third on himself

'Cause the bastard knew

Salvation I’m calling

Salvation

Put the gun down

Put the gun down

Put the gun down

Put the gun down
