Lyrics

We Got the Whip

[Verse 1]

Long days and nights you fought for truth

I gotta hand it to you

Uprising paid for in blood

Only to lose

[Pre-Chorus]

We're gonna hang you up

You've got balls but

[Chorus]

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

We got the whip

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

We got the whip

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

[Verse 2]

Heartache and strife is all you've known

A slave since your youth

And only one life to bargain with

Admiration is due

[Pre-Chorus]

We're gonna string you up

You've got balls but

[Chorus]

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

We got the whip

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

We got the whip

We got the whip; we got a better bomb, yeah

[Solo]

[Bridge]

Fearlessness in the face of death

Met with a smile

Brave and defiant until the end

I know I will never be anything like you

[Chorus]

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

We got the whip

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

We got the whip; we got a better bomb

We got the whip

We got the whip; we got a better bomb
