Needful Things

[Verse 1]
This one goes out to all the soul survivors
Soldiers of war reborn
Lord knows they can't retire
Cut 'em no slack, broken backs
Built the lost empire
The pain was forged in fire
The truce has long expired
(Are you in or in the way?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven rests in a .357, uh
Push 'em far enough, Lord knows they'll send 'em, uh
To a plane of existence (What?)
Reserved for the vicious (What?)
I'm wise to the wicked
When thе wish list becomes a hitlist
The cursе is lifted (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Are you in or in the way?
Are you in or in the way?
Are you in or in the way?
We want tomorrow, so fuck your yesterday

[Verse 2]
Cut in line, cut 'em in
Slice the pie razor thin
It's never free but it's half the price
They're gettin' by but they don't got the life
You got the grip but they don't love you (Nah)
You tangle the truth so they don't trust you (Nah)
The beast in the mirror, it becomes you
Look 'em square in the eye and say "Fuck you" (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Are you in or in the way?
Are you in or in the way?
Are you in or in the way?
We want tomorrow, so fuck your yesterday (Are you in?)
Are you in or in the way? (Or in the way?)
Are you in or in the way? (Are you in?)
Are you in or in the way? (Or in the way?)
We want tomorrow, so fuck your yesterday

[Post-Chorus]
Heaven rests in a .357
Push 'em far enough, Lord knows they'll send 'em
Heaven rests in a .357
Push 'em far enough, Lord knows we'll send 'em
Bang

[Refrain]
When the wish list
Becomes a hitlist
The curse is lifted
The curse is lifted

[Bridge]
Picket signs on the other side of picket fences
Weaponize, defend the defenseless
The kids are coming for you
The kids are coming for you
The kids are coming for you
Are you in or in the way?
You

[Chorus]
(Are you in?)
Are you in or in the way? (Or in the way?)
Are you in or in the way? (Are you in?)
Are you in or in the way? (Or in the way?)
We want tomorrow, so fuck your yesterday

[Outro]
He did it again
Caused trouble, hurt someone's feelings
Yet he didn't want to
Yes, troublesome people are often people in trouble
