On Repeat

The left wants us ignored or silenced
Or they'll just resort to violence
The news purports to be unbiased
The Lord used a shepherd to slay a giant

They've got no room for moderates
Who'll they accuse of intolerance?
We need to stay sober and alert
Or we'll end up like Charlie Kirk

They want us to suffer in silence
To be accepting and compliant
To follow their left wing science
Or wash our hands of it, like Pontius Pilate

David looked that giant in the face
And said "today's your dyin' day."
That giant profaned the Lord's name
And by a shepherd's hand was slain

Men and women of this great land
We need to grab the Savior's hand
And stand for what we believe
Repent n humbly hit our knees

They want us to suffer in silence
To be accepting and compliant
To follow their left wing science
Or wash our hands of it, like Pontius Pilate

David looked that giant in the face
And said "today's your dyin' day."
That giant profaned the Lord's name
And by a shepherd's hand was slain

The left wants us ignored or silenced
Or they'll just resort to violence
The news purports to be unbiased
The Lord used a shepherd to slay a giant
They want us to suffer in silence
To be accepting and compliant
To follow their left wing science
Or wash our hands of it, like Pontius Pilate

They've got no room for moderates
Who'll they accuse of intolerance?
We need to stay sober and alert
Or we'll end up like Charlie Kirk
We need to stay sober and alert
Or we'll end up like Charlie Kirk

Like Charlie Kirk

It all starts with Halloween
Then comes Thanksgiving
Followed by manger scenes
Pretty soon, it's New Year's Eve

The holidays are nearly here
Time for grace n good cheer
Time to take out decorations
And make way for a brand new year

This year was great in some ways
In some ways it was just insane
Pretty sure who won the debate
Cuz we the people -- jumped on the Trump train

Yeah, this much I do know
The swamp needed to be drained
But all the ribbons and bows
Won't relieve the stress n strain

It doesn't matter if you believe
That God does not exist
Ever since Adam and Eve
We're all on -- God's naughty list

na na na na na - God's naughty list

But this much I do know
God's not finished with us yet
It's not His will that we should go
Without knowing who paid our debt

So before taking those
Decorations off the shelf
Remember it ain't the clothes
The reindeer, gifts or elves

That make the holidays great
It's that babe layin' in a manger
Who paid our debt years later
That's who we celebrate

It doesn't matter if you believe
That God does not exist
Ever since Adam and Eve
We're all on -- God's naughty list

But God sent His only son you know
He gave heaven's greatest gift
So we could trade our rags for a robe
Cuz we're all on -- God's naughty list

na na na na na - God's naughty list
na na na na na

That's why He came down
From his heavenly throne
Died n rose n now wears a crown
To redeem us as His own

God sent His only son you know
He gave heaven's greatest gift
So we could trade our rags for a robe
Cuz we're all on -- God's naughty list

It doesn't matter if you believe
That God does not exist
Ever since Adam and Eve
We're all on -- God's naughty list

Yeah, we're all on -- God's naughty list
We're all on -- God's naughty list
-- God's naughty list
na na na na na - God's naughty list
God's naughty list

God's Naughty List

Song about a broken-hearted man who can't stop drinking as he recalls his mistakes and missed opportunities.

He pulled out her letter and read it over again
The one she wrote night she up and left him  
It was one part never there, two parts unprepared
Add a dash of despair and there you have it: 
The recipe for a broken heart.
    		
Could've fanned the flame, it's a cryin' shame 
He's comin' apart                    
gotta broken heart. 

Now he cannot stop, he takes another shot 
     
Thinkin' 'bout those birthdays he just plumb forgot. 
              
As he takes some time to think, he pours another drink 
Of the recipe for a broken heart

ONE PART NEVER THERE, TWO PARTS UNPREPARED              
ADD A DASH OF DESPAIR AND THERE YOU HAVE IT 
THE RECIPE FOR A BROKEN HEART

Now he cannot stop, he takes another shot 
Thinkin' 'bout those birthdays he forgot
Gotta broken heart   

Could've fanned the flame
It's a cryin' shame  
He's comin' apar
Gotta broken heart 

He knew the task was risky but he’s plumb out of luck
He got a flask of Jack Whiskey in the cab of his ol’ truck  
Comin’ apart at the seams, his heart is sad and broken. 
Lost his hopes and dreams so tonight he’s gonna crack it open

Now he cannot stop, he takes another shot 
Thinkin' 'bout those birthdays he forgot 
Gotta broken heart   

Could've fanned the flame, it's a cryin' shame 
He's comin' apart; gotta broken heart 
      
With each shot he takes, he remembers his mistakes 
And the recipe for a broken heart
