JackGIANTkillr: Layin’ Aside the Things of this World (Lyric Video)

A pulsating stomp and hypnotic drone, like a fusion of country blues and rockabilly played in a desert canyon. Lyrics: We’ve set our hearts upon riches For money we’re forgiven sin There ain’t nothing, you can’t buy ’Till they close the coffin lid We’ve set our hearts on paper For some lucre, they forgive your sins I want to lay aside the things of this world Until a better let’s me in With whom have I been feastin’? Dash the chalice from my hand Sweep away, the silver plate Put my fingers straight in the can With whom have I been eatin’? Dash that chalice from my hand I want to lay aside the things of this world For a better, just like I planned Who’s our latest idol? Are tongues sore from songs of praise? Smash graven images, on the ground Get me out of these mystery plays Who is our latest idol? Finger-fashioned, to justify our ways I want to lay aside the things of this world A better one lies through the haze We’ve elected corrupt officials Takin’ more pork than is in the hog Claimin’ heaven is here and now While leaving us as meat for dogs We’re choosing corrupt judges They’ve left no morsel in the pan I’m layin’ aside the things of this world Gettin’ to a better quick as I can #bluesrock #slideguitar #indierock #indiemusic #countryblues #rockabilly #garagerock #electricguitar #lofimusic
