Hands Up

Let me take you back in time, just climb in my DeLorean Nashville '99, we stood in line and started pourin' in That concert in the dark off Rosa Parks, that auditorium Was church for me, yeah I believe The first time I was born again Was Killing In The Name, Bulls On Parade GA packed in the pit Me and all those people people called nothing but troubled kids If there was ever a fire in me, yeah that's the night I got it lit I knew who I was born to be when he said

Everybody get your hands up Everybody put your hands up If you ain't perfect but you try Put 'em way up to the sky Touchin' heaven kinda high Ain't that where we wanna go when we die Whoa, whoa, whoa Just put your hands up Everybody put your hands up

Let's take it down there, south of town I'm 22, up to no good Dressed in black, I broke the glass to take back the bag of grass they took That story end's against the fence right in that dead end neighborhood Cop's told me what I told them, when he said boy

You better put your hands up Everybody put your hands up If you ain't perfect but you try Put 'em way up to the sky Touchin' heaven kinda high Ain't that where we wanna go when we die Whoa, whoa, whoa Just put your hands up Everybody put your hands up

Our last stop's that little cross I came across some years ago Comin' down and hidin' out back there in that ol' sinner's row The devil on my shoulder finally found him somewhere else to go I never did believe in ghosts 'til the holy one told me to throw my hands up Oh Lord, I threw my hands up

Put your hands up Everybody put your hands up If you ain't perfect but you try Put 'em way up to the sky Touchin' heaven kinda high Ain't that where we wanna go when we die Whoa, whoa, whoa Just put your hands up Everybody put your hands up
