He Doesn’t Want You Better (He Wants You Deader)

It all seemed so simple then
You found a Savior, you found a friend
You got the chance to start again
A brand new look at you
But now it's gettin' uncomfortable
You feel a battle raging in your soul
When to hold on, when to let go
It's not so easy to do

Well, they told you God
Was peace and love
Didn't anybody tell you this?

He doesn't want you better
He wants you deader
You're looking for the signs and wonders
He wants you under
Well, there's your way and there's my way
But the better way is to get out of the way
You bеtter beware, you see thе cross there
Somebody's gonna die
He doesn't want you better
He wants you deader
Yeah, He wants you deader

We're all born under the mark of Cain
Got a cancer running through our veins
It's like a rumor in the middle of your brain
Doin' anything to survive
Soon you become your own pimp
Trying to correct your own limp
One day a monster, the next a wimp
Trying to stay alive

Now every snake must shed his skin
That's the way it's always been

He doesn't want you better
He wants you deader
You're looking for the signs and wonders
He wants you under
Well, there's your way and there's my way
But the better way is to get out of the way
You better beware, you see the cross there
Somebody's gonna die
He doesn't want you better
He wants you deader
Yeah, He wants you deader, oh...

Now the truth is rising from the mist
And the word is this:
That when Jesus calls a man
Don't you know
He calls him to come and die!

Dead people don't mind pain
Don't get offended so they never complain
They're not concerned for personal gain
Does that sound like me or you?
Is this a thought you can't abide
That God has a dangerous side
Now you can stand or you can run and hide
But He will do what He will do

He doesn't want you better
He wants you deader
You're looking for the signs and wonders
He wants you under
Well, there's your way and there's my way
But the only way is just get out of the way
You better beware, you see that cross there
Somebody's gonna die
Somebody's gonna die
He doesn't want you better
He wants you deader
Yeah, He wants you deader
Oh, He wants you deader
Yeah, He wants you deader
Deader, deader, deader, yeah
