Lyrics

Shaking Paper

Hold the gun Way deep down Look out young son Look out young son Good thing's coming 'Cause the good thing's coming But shotguns with no guns Shot army with no army at all I don't know what is worse And I can't tell what is the best People emphasize the weight of the world Demons despise the sound of shaking paper Guess what I found out That you do, too Hold the gun Way deep down Look out young son Look out young son 'Cause the good thing's coming 'Cause the good thing's coming Shotguns with no guns Shot army with no army at all I don't know what is worse I can't tell what is the best People emphasize the weight of the world Demons despise the sound of shaking paper Guess what I found out You do too 'Cause the good thing's coming 'Cause the good thing's coming 'Cause the good thing's coming 'Cause the good thing's coming
