VERSE I
WERE ALL TOLD WE SHOULD BE AFRAID
BUT I WON’T BOW MY HEAD IN SHAME
CAN’T GIVE WHAT YE DON’T FIRST TAKE
I FEEL BETRAYED
STILL I PRAY
I’M NOT A PREACHER IN YE PULPIT
GETTING TRIGGERED DON’T PULL IT PULL IT
I’M NOT A VICTIM DODGING BULLETS
YE FOR THE PEOPLE WHY DON’T YE DO IT DO IT!
PRE-CHORUS
THEY’LL JUST REPLACE YOU THEY’RE NOT GONNA SAVE YOU
CHORUS
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU
THE ENEMY MEANS ONLY TO PLAY YOU
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY GIVE JUST A LITTLE
THEY’LL REPLACE YOU THEY’RE THE ONES THAT PLAYED YOU
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU
THE ENEMY MEANS ONLY TO PLAY YOU
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY GIVE JUST A LITTLE
THEY’LL ERASE YOU, NEVER GONNA SAVE YOU!
VERSE II (Red-light King)
I DON’T LIE FOR THE ONE PERCENT
I GREW UP WITH A HAMMER AND A WRENCH
NOT THE LIFE I CHOSE, WALKED THE DIRTY ROADS
THAT NO ONE KNOWS
I HAVE MY SHIELD I HAVE MY STRENGTH
I HAVE MY SOUL AND I HAVE MY FAITH
I GIVE MY WORD THAT IT MIGHT GET VIOLENT
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE SILENT
CHORUS
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU
THE ENEMY MEANS ONLY TO PLAY YOU
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY GIVE JUST A LITTLE
THEY’LL REPLACE YOU THEY’RE THE ONES THAT PLAYED YOU
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU
THE ENEMY MEANS ONLY TO PLAY YOU
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY GIVE JUST A LITTLE
THEY’LL ERASE YOU, NEVER GONNA SAVE YOU!
BRIDGE
ALL OF THESE VOICES
A LYING DISEASE
THEY CAN’T SAVE YOU
SAVE YOURSELF
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU
THE ENEMY MEANS ONLY TO PLAY YOU
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY GIVE JUST A LITTLE
CHORUS
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU
THE ENEMY MEANS ONLY TO PLAY YOU
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY GIVE JUST A LITTLE
THEY’LL REPLACE YOU THEY’RE THE ONES THAT PLAYED YOU
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU
THE ENEMY MEANS ONLY TO PLAY YOU
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY TAKE
AND THEY GIVE JUST A LITTLE
