  • You know it's Johnny three when you watch that body fall
    When you fuck with J-3-T, he's like fuck it kill 'em all
    Ain't no body bag boy, we'll feed you to the fuckin' dogs
    I'll keep on playin' saint, you keep beggin' me to stop
    I ain't a good shot baby, but I'm on a roll
    You better get down lady, someone's turnin' cold
    Now it's time to meet your maker, hear the tolling of the bell
    Fuckin' kill you again when I see you in hell
    (Now it's time to meet your maker, hear the tolling of the bell
    Fuckin' kill you again when I see you in hell)
    Bitch!

    Shut your eyes let darkness lead the fight, say goodnight
    The rest will watch their future die,
    They're real life, say goodnight
    It's time to let out the dead, dead come alive,
    We have the flag for the rest of our life
    So shut your eyes let darkness lead the fight,
    Say goodnight, say good night

    You know it's hard to breathe with the knife up to your throat
    And it's impossible to see down a barrel of smoke
    And now you're starting to choke, you hope it's all in your mind
    It's time to hit the deck like it's a fuckin' drive by
    It ain't possible to manage all the carnage and the damage
    And an animal like me could use it all to my advantage
    You're the first to hit the floor, 'cause you know that we stay lit
    We're kickin' in your door 'cause we ain't nothin' to fuck with
    (You're the first to hit the floor, 'cause you know that we stay lit
    We're kickin' in your door 'cause we ain't nothin' to fuck with)

    Shut your eyes let darkness lead the fight, say goodnight
    The rest will watch their future die,
    Their real life, say goodnight
    It's time to let out the dead, dead come alive,
    We have the flag for the rest of our life
    So shut your eyes let darkness lead the fight,
    Say goodnight, say good night

    There's a black flag hangin' over this town,
    Get down! (get down!)
    There's a black flag hangin' over this town,
    Get down! (get down!)
    There's a black flag hangin' over this town,
    Get down! (get down!)
    There's a black flag hangin' over this town,
    Get down! (get down!)

    In the land of the weak, we'll put you to sleep,
    Put you to sleep, yeah, put you to sleep
    Walk to the sky as you beg for your life,
    Beg for your life, yeah, beg for your life

    Shut your eyes let darkness lead the fight, say goodnight
    The rest will watch their future die,
    Their real life, say goodnight
    It's time to let out the dead, dead come alive,
    We have the flag for the rest of our life
    So shut your eyes let darkness lead the fight,
    Say goodnight, say good night Writer/s: DANIEL MURILLO, DYLAN PETER ALVAREZ, GEORGE ARTHUR RAGAN, GRIFFIN BOICE, JORDON KRISTOPHER TERRELL, JOREL DECKER, MATTHEW BUSEK
