Toxic

[Verse 1: Chris Llewellyn]

Here in the belly of the beast

We been making dirty deals

We been living underneath

The bright lights of Babylon

Oh, how it shimmers how it shines

With the sheen of compromise

Been soaking in the lies

And Rome starts to feel like home

Starts to feel like home

[Chorus: Chris Llewellyn]

Are we all toxic

Are we a kingdom or a wasteland

Are we the balm of Gilead

Or a poison to the world

Are we all toxic

Are we the cure or the infection

Are we the hands and feet of Christ

Or are we devils in disguise

I can’t tell

[Verse 2: Chris Llewellyn]

I won’t be bought, I won’t comply

I won’t serve a dollar sign

Won’t conform to your desires

Or bow down beneath a flag

No, I won’t kneel and kiss the ring

I’m no gear in this machine

I’m no part of this regime

Caesar is not my Lord

I’ve only got one Lord

[Chorus: Chris Llewellyn]

Are we all toxic

Are we a kingdom or a wasteland

Are we the balm of Gilead

Or a poison to the world

Are we all toxic

Are we the cure or the infection

Are we the hands and feet of Christ

Or are we devils in disguise

[Bridge: Chris Llewellyn]

(I can’t tell) If we’re helping or we’re hurting

(I can’t tell) If we’re the problem or solution

(I can’t tell) If we’re the saviours or if we need saving

(I can’t tell) If we’re the healers or the broken

(I can’t tell) If we’re a system of oppression

(I can’t tell) If we’re the heroes or if we’re the villains

[Verse 3: Propaganda]

I don’t know what God you claimin’

We say the same things though

Apparently, invariably, it’s clear that something changed

I see us under the steeple, homie people, it’s just people

But you must admit, we must consent that all ideas ain’t equal

And if we fruit of the spirit, then our soil must be toxic

‘Cause every single topic causes us to launch rockets

I’m wonderin’ who sufferin’ and profitin’ from all this

How you fight Babylon when you become just like it

Weak devour, seeking power, weaponize, utilize, brutalize, feudalize

And who decides who is right, inspect the specks in other’s eyes, yellin’ over hurting cries

You worried about who’s worthy of your precious time

That’s ridiculous, God gotta be sick of this

Somebody gettin’ rich for this

Lesson, I think we missed it

I thought the goal was exodus

Body and soul, preciousness

I thought the whole session was on earth, like heaven

[Outro: Chris Llewellyn]

Are we all toxic

Are we a kingdom or a wasteland

Are we the balm of Gilead

Or a poison to the world

I can't tell
