Testo di 'Bottom Of The 9th' di B.Reith

Come on, baby, baby, come on, baby, baby
Come on, come on, come on
I told you I'd come through for you Knine
A little late though, bottom of the 9th, let's go

Now I never been very assertive
I guess always preferred to just keep my mouth shut
So a lotta unspoken words are comin' out now
Figured I'd speak out loud before it's too late
For me to get my thoughts out

This world is so perverted from sex, greed to murder
We been touched by the clergy and guilty's the verdict
But thank God, the high priest interceded and cleared up
The dirt that I stirred up

It sure doesn't take a lot for me to be sure of
The fact that for my sins I deserve to be murdered
But thankfully the livin' word is somethin' I've heard of
Which means that death was somethin' I ain't gotta be scared of
I've been cured of it

Now all the years that I've wasted and all the tears that I've tasted
Have forced me to face the truth and embrace it
Which leaves me to the question, it's simple and basic
What is true life and have you ever tasted it?

There's only one thing to live for, die for, get killed for
And no, it's not what they sellin' on them billboards
It is for certain you can't take a pill for
It's happenin' whether you will or won't ignore

Look at the signs, we're runnin' out of time
There's work to be done, it's the bottom of the 9th
Get busy, hey, so get busy, hey
Choose life, seek Christ and get busy, hey

Well, it's the bottom of the 9th
3 balls and 2 strikes and God's loaded the bases
So I'm goin' up to the plate with Satan's aces

He'll try to throw me some garbage, hopin' I take it
But I'm patient
He know I chased it in my past life, wanted the fast life
But I have Christ so that [Incomprehensible] is ancient

Was with the devil 'til I figured out he came
When I play with the angels, now no longer a free agent
I was losing the game until he saved it
We ain't the Dodgers, we the Braves

So we facin' the fact that when you leave here
It's only one of two places, either you're out or you're safest
Really no way kids should have to die
We just got away from home

Jesus been made the sacrifice for lives
So open your eyes, coach is giving you the sign
Batter up game
Homey, the game's on the line, let's go

There's only one thing to live for, die for, get killed for
And no, it's not what they sellin' on them billboards
It is for certain you can't take a pill for
It's happenin' whether you will or won't ignore

Look at the signs, we're runnin' out of time
There's work to be done, it's the bottom of the 9th
Get busy, hey, so get busy, hey
Choose life, seek Christ and get busy, hey

So when you're tired and low down and everything seems to go wrong
Put on your rally caps and be strong
We down in the bottom of the 9th but know now
The one who's going to win this showdown so keep, keep on

Keep fightin' the whole round and know the same one
Who's graceful in His gold crown, He sees ya
So get busy, hey, hey, get busy, hey
He's so proud, you're His own child, believe it

There's only one thing to live for, die for, get killed for
And no, it's not what they sellin' on them billboards
It is for certain you can't take a pill for
It's happenin' whether you will or won't ignore

Look at the signs, we're runnin' out of time
There's work to be done, it's the bottom of the 9th
Get busy, hey, so get busy, hey
Choose life, seek Christ and get busy, hey, hey

You only got one life to live, you only got one life to live
You only got one life to live, you only got one life to give
You only got one life to lose, only got one life to choose
What you gon' live for, there's only one thing worth livin' for

There's only one thing to live for, die for, get killed for
And no, it's not what they sellin' on them billboards
It is for certain you can't take a pill for
It's happenin' whether you will or won't ignore

Look at the signs, we're runnin' out of time
There's work to be done, it's the bottom of the 9th
Get busy, hey, so get busy, hey
Choose life, seek Christ and get busy, hey, hey
