Let me take you back in time, just climb in my DeLoreanNashville '99, we stood in line and started pourin' inThat concert in the dark off Rosa Parks, that auditoriumWas church for me, yeah I believeThe first time I was born againWas Killing In The Name, Bulls On ParadeGA packed in the pitMe and all those people peoplecalled nothing but troubled kidsIf there was ever a fire in me, yeahthat's the night I got it litI knew who I was born to be whеn he saidEverybody get your hands upEvеrybody put your hands upIf you ain't perfect but you tryPut ‘em way up to the skyTouchin' heaven kinda highAin't that where we wanna go when we dieWhoa, whoa, whoaJust put your hands upEverybody put your hands upLet's take it down there, south of townI'm 22, up to no goodDressed in black, I broke the glassto take back the bag of grass they tookThat story end's against the fence right inthat dead end neighborhoodCop's told me what I told themwhen he said boyYou better put your hands upEverybody put your hands upIf you ain't perfect but you tryPut ‘em way up to the skyTouchin' heaven kinda highAin't that where we wanna go when we dieWhoa, whoa, whoaJust put your hands upEverybody put your hands upOur last stop's that little crossI came across some years agoComin' down and hidin' out back therein that ol' sinner's rowThe devil on my shoulder finally found himsomewhere else to goI never did believe in ghosts ‘til the holyone told me to throw my hands upOh Lord, I threw my hands upPut your hands upEverybody put your hands upIf you ain't perfect but you tryPut ‘em way up to the skyTouchin' heaven kinda highAin't that where we wanna go when we dieWhoa, whoa, whoaJust put your hands upEverybody put your hands up
