Oh King 02:57
Why do the nations rage and peoples plot in vain Against the LORD enthroned forever the kings of earth together As for me I set my king on Zion This God up in heaven and his anointed one Let’s burst their bonds apart cast them away from us As for me I set my king on Zion The one in heaven laughs he holds them in derision He speaks to them in wrath and terrifies them saying As for me I set my king on Zion…yeah Oh rulers be warned now oh kings be wise Pledge service to the LORD now man lower your eyes Kiss the Son every one of ya’s lest his anger end your saunter Blessed are the ones who take refuge in him I’ll tell of the decree what the LORD said to me You are my only Son today begotten one Ask of my I’ll set my king on Zion I’ll make the nations yours the earth your heritage Dash them like pottery break them entirely Ask of me I’ll set my king on Zion Oh rulers be warned now oh kings be wise Pledge service to the LORD now man lower your eyes Kiss the Son every one of ya’s cause his wrath is kindled fast kids Blessed are the ones who take refuge in him

I’m letting myself go I’m leaving my hair grow I used to aim high now everything’s low I’m wrinkling my eyes and letting my clothes get holes I’m starting to get ol’ and letting myself go. I’m letting myself go I’m letting myself go I’m starting to feel tired walking each weary mile And I’m starting to move slow, and letting myself go But there’s a light deep inside Give me wings like I could fly And that bright glow leads down a narrow road And shows the way home and I’m letting myself go I’m letting myself go I’m letting myself go I’m ragged I know I’m skin and I’m bone I ache and I moan I’m starting to fray I’m starting to pass away And I’m starting to get ol’ and letting myself go But there’s a light deep inside Give me wings like I could fly And that bright glow leads down a narrow road And shows the way home and I’m letting myself go He shows the way home and I’m letting myself go As much as I can I’m letting myself go

Bad Doctor 03:04
Bad doctor gonna run a test bad doctor listen to my chest Bad doctor gonna make it fine bad doctor gonna spit and shine Bad doctor has a common sense bad doctor has our confidence Bad doctor can admit no wrong bad doctor comma sing along Bad doctor gonna take a peek bad doctor only look skin deep Bad doctor gonna calm my doubts bad doctor cover up my mouth Bad doctor in the ivory towers bad doctor with the sacred cows Bad doctor got his thumb on me bad doctor never let me be Bad doctor doesn’t know bad doctor doesn’t see the places he don’t go the site he couldn’t reach Those hidden fields of need bad doctor doesn’t see bad doctor doesn’t know Bad doctor bad nurse making bad worse show em’ where it hurts second verse taking temperatures Curse guaranteed to be reversed payment first please rake it in like Xerxes pullin’ on the purse strings No more Christian ministry not like it used to be sold out the rest of us cheap like Ed Pevensie Surgeon to Orderly following orders we submit to policy still love technology Now you’re trading in Jesus n’ his muddy eyewear for procedures promises platinum heath care Pharmacy’s lying and all y’all still dying they’re false like Zhivago with Science to follow But they’re startin’ to show like they prego it’s on their face like Impetigo suspicious assertions all squishy like Play-Doh Be better to pray though but you’re too afraid not to go meds feds and hospital it’s the ultimate combo What could go wrong with this? What conflict of interest? We’re deep invested in thatch and sickness is the businatch So straighten your glasses its dope for the masses but buyer best beware bad doctor bad health care Bad doctor doesn’t know bad doctor doesn’t see the places he don’t go the site he couldn’t reach Those hidden fields of need bad doctor doesn’t see bad doctor doesn’t know bad doctor doesn’t go Our Lord is not the same Good Doctor is his name so vain the help of man with Jesus yes we can And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.

Addition 03:35
Peter said always have an answer ready but then they’re on you all at once And inevitably your hands are sweaty calculating your response And it can be hard to tell the truth cause you know they’re gonna hate it But this is what we’ve been called to ain’t it And you might be tempted to change some stuff but that isn’t the way In fact it ought to get your hackles up when you hear the people say hey It’s just a little addition plus a bit of subtraction a little shift in position to increase the attraction But brothers this is a mission ladies it’s time for action This book will make a division this God don’t suffer retraction No addition no subtraction, yeah? This Gospel has continued unchanged and faithful from antiquity And none of us should think we move securely if we’re toying with the recipe Including me yes we’re free but there are consequences for what we do There is one way not two Jesus is the only name under heaven the only hope for salvation no room for deviation Don’t trust em if they’re preachin’ yeah It’s just a little addition plus a bit of subtraction a little shift in position to increase the attraction But brothers this is a mission ladies it’s time for action This book will make a division give me that ol’ time religion It’s just a little addition plus a bit of subtraction a little shift in position to increase the attraction But brothers this is a mission ladies it’s time for action This book will make a division this God don’t suffer retraction No addition no subtraction, yeah? And not everyone in the building is in the church Some have come in to help but some have crept in to hurt ya’ They’re not here to stand out they’re here to blend in Like wolves in sheep’s clothing their mouths are foaming But you’ll know them by their fruit their sensual passion Twisting God’s word with a little addition a bit of subtraction

I’ve been thinkin’ bout you sitting in your room plunking at the keys propagate the view Tell the philistines whatever they do don’t criticize me Oh the circumstance of your preference where you took a stance was there consequence? Like the first dance where you took a chance but you bore the grins cause you wore the pants Like our heroes who bore many blows like the ones we’ve known who could stand alone Why require then everyone consent if your purpose is true I… I’m thinkin’ bout you a note from me it ain’t nothin’ new. Oh it used to was we was who we was oh it used to be we could disagree Now you need me lying prostrate cause you read it on the internet But wisdom ain’t the word of the expert spread your wings bird do your own search The most modest claim from these science jerks got more dogma than a flipin’ Church But you really want to be her cause the grass is always greener A little fresh paint to make it better but inside it’s still you I… I’m thinkin’ bout you a note from me it ain’t nothin’ new. As in war those who hold positions face the guns Only those who have no conviction give praise to everyone So as you think on your condition if it is one Know that we all feel the heat of our decisions Please believe me I know you’re free but I gotta be true too We’ve been hurting ears for like thirty years man it ain’t nothing new Oh believe me I know you’re free but I have a master too We’ve been hurting ears for like thirty years man it ain’t nothing new I… I’m thinkin’ bout you a note from me it ain’t nothin’ new. I… I’m thinkin’ bout you a note from me it ain’t nothin’ new.
