Chris Cruz Original about the Hunt for Osama Bin Laden from the upcoming Rosary Beats EP

lyrics

WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON THE CRIME AND THE SIN
DID IT HAVE TO GO DOWN THAT WAY?
TWENTY YEARS YOU’LL BE COUNTING THE DEAD
IS IT WORTH THE PRICE YOU PAID?

WELL HISTORY IS CRUEL TO THE POOR AND THE WEAK
AND THE ONES THAT GET IN THE WAY
AND NOW YOU’VE GOT THAT PRICE ON YOUR HEAD
“THEY’RE GONNA HUNT YOU FOREVER” HE SAID

THEY’RE GONNA BRING YOU BACK
DEAD OR ALIVE, HUNT YOU ‘TIL THE END OF TIME
A CRIME AND A SIN THEY’LL GET YOU IN THE END
BRING YOU BACK DEAD OR ALIVE

IS IT WORTH THE POINT YOU MADE
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAR AND THE DEAD?
FILL YOUR YOUNG MEN WITH HATE AND RAGE
PIED PIPER OF KILLING AND DEATH

THIS WORLD IT’S CRUEL TO THE POOR AND THE WEAK
AND THE ONES THAT GET IN THE WAY
AND NOW YOU’VE GOT THAT PRICE ON YOUR HEAD
AND YOU STILL GOT THE DEVIL TO PAY

THEY’RE GONNA BRING YOU BACK
DEAD OR ALIVE, HUNT YOU ‘TIL THE END OF TIME
A CRIME AND A SIN THEY’LL GET YOU IN THE END
BRING YOU BACK DEAD OR ALIVE

WELL HISTORY IT TELLS OF THE PAIN THAT COMES
WHEN YOU MIX UP THE BIBLE AND THE GUN
THE PROMISES THEY MADE DON’T MATTER NO MORE
WHEN YOU’RE LIFELESS COLD AND DEAD

THIS WORLD IT’S CRUEL TO THE POOR AND THE WEAK
AND THE ONES THAT GET IN THE WAY
AND NOW YOU’VE GOT THAT PRICE ON YOUR HEAD
AND YOU STILL GOT THE DEVIL TO PAY

THEY’RE GONNA BRING YOU BACK
DEAD OR ALIVE, HUNT YOU ‘TIL THE END OF TIME
A CRIME AND A SIN THEY’LL GET YOU IN THE END
BRING YOU BACK DEAD OR ALIVE
