lyrics
BAPTIZED IN CREDIT
[Verse 1]
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his very soul
when you can’t find another one to buy online?
(And if you’re listening:)
Make money your God and it will plague you like the Devil
If we reap what we sow, are we nothing more than what we owe?
Just a dollar and a dream
Wake up!
[Verse 2]
For everything in the World, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and pride of life
comes not from the Father but from the World
(And if ya’ll hear me:)
God or Mammon?
For the love of money is the root of all evil.
Be careful cashing in before the credit crash cashes you out!
[Chorus]
If we can’t save a dime
We might as well spend all of our time
Serving the only one who spent it all to Save you ALL before you cash it all out before your soul gets sold out
Just breathe, repent and ye shall be redeemed.
[Verse 3]
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moths and vermin destroy
And where thieves break in and steal, when things get way too real,
Will we reach out for the guns or will we reach out to God?
(And if you’re with me:)
Saving dollars while we’re losing souls on a whole another level.
They say: “time is money” and you can get more money to find but you can’t get more time.
[Chorus]
[Shimura Shredding Bridge]
[Chorus] x2
