JackGIANTkillr: Layin’ Aside the Things of this World (Lyric Video)
A pulsating stomp and hypnotic drone, like a fusion of country blues and rockabilly played in a desert canyon.
Lyrics:
We’ve set our hearts upon riches
For money we’re forgiven sin
There ain’t nothing, you can’t buy
’Till they close the coffin lid
We’ve set our hearts on paper
For some lucre, they forgive your sins
I want to lay aside the things of this world
Until a better let’s me in
With whom have I been feastin’?
Dash the chalice from my hand
Sweep away, the silver plate
Put my fingers straight in the can
With whom have I been eatin’?
Dash that chalice from my hand
I want to lay aside the things of this world
For a better, just like I planned
Who’s our latest idol?
Are tongues sore from songs of praise?
Smash graven images, on the ground
Get me out of these mystery plays
Who is our latest idol?
Finger-fashioned, to justify our ways
I want to lay aside the things of this world
A better one lies through the haze
We’ve elected corrupt officials
Takin’ more pork than is in the hog
Claimin’ heaven is here and now
While leaving us as meat for dogs
We’re choosing corrupt judges
They’ve left no morsel in the pan
I’m layin’ aside the things of this world
Gettin’ to a better quick as I can
