Brace Yourself Songtext
von John Ellis

I used to tell the truth, but now I know better
Nobody wants to know
Which way the wind will blow
Knives in my back, the handles read "Jesus loves you"
Just like honey for bees
I′ve been money for thieves
Innocent lamb led to the slaughter
The shepherd's the one who wields the blade

You′ve got to brace yourself
Make them take you alive
Kick at that dying light
And just stay awake
Resist the urge to sleep
And keep stumbling


All bets are off, take nothing for granted, baby
None of your good deeds
Will ever go unpunished
I promise you where there's smoke, there's mirrors
Buildings on fire, someone′s selling water

You′ve got to brace yourself
Make them take you alive
Kick at that dying light
Just stay awake
Resist the urge to sleep
And keep stumbling

A friend or foe, you never see it coming
Everything will change, and then again

You've got to brace yourself
Make them take you alive
Kick at that dying light
And just stay awake
Resist the urge to sleep
And keep on stumbling

You′ve got to brace yourself, baby
You've got to brace yourself
