Lyrics for Numbers 31:17-18
āNow kill all the boys, and kill every woman who has had sex with a man. But save for yourselves, the young girls who have not have sex with a man [00:24.88] Save for yourselves. Save for yourselves the virgins [00:30.09] Take the virgin children for yourselves [00:33.30] You good boy, good boy, good boy, good boy" [00:51.02] The context is missing, long, long forgotten [00:54.58] Oh, the context, the context is on the milk cartons [00:58.75] But they still fill the bottle for that silhouette of air [01:02.97] The babe will crawl home and suck on excuses and prayers [01:07.15] Context! Context! [01:08.86] There is context to the slaughter [01:10.62] There is a loving, good, good, reason [01:12.44] Godās quotations kill a daughter [01:14.64] Thereās a lump under the rug in religionās house [01:18.84] They will dance and defend anything to keep it from coming out [01:26.83] Thereās a whore next door [01:28.85] Sheās your reward [01:30.81] Oh what could you want, could you want thatās more? [01:34.86] Before her death, I heard her say something: [01:38.70] āIām biting into an apple and Iām afraid of nothing.ā [01:50.68] And here they come with their bullets made of Jesus [01:55.18] The muscle of God that will surely defeat us [01:59.09] The bigger question thatās presenting [02:02.93] Is what kind of God are you defending? [02:07.08] The love of a parent that if you deny [02:10.85] That parent will send you straight down and watch your muscle fry [02:14.83] They will not stop singing and defending that song [02:19.28] Rather find the excuse for massacre than be wrong [02:22.81] Rather ignore the lyrics than stop singing along [02:26.69] Thereās a whore next door [02:28.87] Sheās your reward [02:30.91] Oh what could you want, could you want thatās more? [02:34.92] Before her death, I heard her say something: [02:38.91] āIām biting into an apple and Iām afraid of nothing.ā [02:43.56] Oh, oh God says youāre such a good boy [02:46.61] Take a child for yourself, for yourself to enjoy [02:50.73] āCause what God gives, God can take [02:54.93] And give to you with God-given permission to break [03:01.11] Break, break, break [03:05.24] Take, take, take [03:09.16] Good boy, good, good boy, good boy, good boy [03:13.71] Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good⦠[03:30.15] Context! Context! [03:31.74] Thereās context to the gore [03:34.26] Relax your furrowed brow [03:35.81] For the rape was blessed by the Lord [03:37.18] There is no need for concern [03:39.77] There is no need for a fight [03:41.80] The drug of Godās permission [03:43.84] Will help you sleep [03:45.89] Sleep [03:48.15] Sleep at night [03:56.71] Thereās a whore next door [03:58.62] Sheās your reward [04:00.93] Oh what could you want, could you want thatās more? [04:04.73] Before her death, I heard her say something: [04:09.07] āIām biting into an apple and Iām afraid of nothing.ā [04:13.59] (Whore next door, she's your reward) I'm afraid of nothing [04:18.41] (Oh what could you want, could you want that's more) I'm afraid of nothing [04:23.39] (Before her death, I heard her say something) I'm afraid of nothing [04:25.11] (God can give innocence, God can take it And give it to a good man to break it) Ah, ah, ah, ah [04:29.59] The women are ghosts, they are sheets, they're compliant [04:35.24] (I'm afraid of nothing) God made their voices and demanded their silence [04:38.97] (I'm afraid of nothing) Oh isnāt it strange, the morality of God [04:41.45] (I'm afraid of nothing) Caters to the ones in control, how strange, how odd [04:45.54] Oh you good fucking, joy of a boy [04:48.06] You good, good, good, fucking good, good, good boy [04:52.81] Take a child, take one, take two, take another [04:56.73] Your reward for obeying is kids and plunder [05:00.58] 'Cause what God gives, God can take [05:04.43] āCause what God gives, God can take [05:08.32] āCause what God gives, God can take [05:12.59] And give to you with God-given permission to break
