“Crawl” is Kings of Leon’s first political song. The music peaked No. 42 on Billboard’s Top Rock Songs in 2009. Caleb Followill, band’s frontman, explained to The Daily Telegraph:
It honestly feels as if America has to learn how to crawl again before it can walk tall. In (Biblical) prophecy, it say...
[Verse 1]
You fault my pride
Don't ever need to 'pologize
As your lips unfold
Shaken purple from the cold
[Chorus]

'Fore I walk away
[Verse 2]
You broke my mouth
The bloody bits are spitting out

The worm is counting down the days
[Chorus]
He wants to see you crawl
He wants to see you crawl
Before I walk away
'Fore I walk away
[Post-Chorus]

'Fore they walk away
Before they walk away
[Post-Chorus]
The reds and the whites and abused
The crucified USA
As every prophecy unfolds
Oh, Hell is truly on its way
