by: De StaatWaste, U make another face
Just kick the pedals down
Come on and move it
Don't make another sound
I'll putt you to it
It ain't the question "who"
It is the question "why"
It's what you're gonna do
I know you wanna die
baby kill baby!
[chorus]
God, these feeling
wounds are healing
when you're feeling love
So stop your kneelin'
Get your healin'
Hush your god above
Stop, following your dreams
You hook up with the later
and so it seams
It ain't the question "who"
It is the question "why"
It's what you're gonna do
I know you wanna die
Wait, for evolution, for evolution
Hate, this repetition, of demolition
Wait, for evolution, for evolution
Hate, this repetition
So let's start talking now!
[chorus] x2
