[Verse 1] You fault my pride Don't ever need to 'pologize As your lips unfold Shaken purple from the cold [Chorus] You better learn to crawl You better learn to crawl 'Fore I walk away 'Fore I walk away [Verse 2] You broke my mouth The bloody bits are spitting out Is your grave unscathed? The worm is counting down the days [Chorus] He wants to see you crawl He wants to see you crawl Before I walk away 'Fore I walk away [Post-Chorus] The reds and the whites and abused The crucified USA As every prophecy unfolds Oh, Hell is truly on its way [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] As the rat and the fly They're searching for an alibi As we await the wrath They never went to Sunday Mass [Chorus] They want to see us crawl They want to see us crawl 'Fore they walk away Before they walk away [Post-Chorus] The reds and the whites and abused The crucified USA As every prophecy unfolds Oh, Hell is truly on its way
