Salvation

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 blond-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?

Well he came to town, found the woman that I love

And he ****** her down, she told him where I live

Off of 9th in the alleyway, where they say

They got the coke and the **** 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

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 knock 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

Say, put the gun down
