Come Judgement Day Lyrics | John Lucas

[Verse 1]
Everybody's slaving just to get ahead
Yeah, everybody's slaving just to get ahead
But you'll never be free if you chainin' those behind
Or if you're selling your soul on the dotted line
I ain't selling my songs to the record man
'Cause the radio stations won't reach this land
I ain't moving to the city and changing my name
Or you can keep your money, you can keep your fame

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
You can gain the whole world
But it'll cost your soul
Oh, everybody dies
Clinging to fool's gold
Give me what's real
What doesn't rust or fade
Come hell or high water
Come Judgement Day

[Verse 2]
I've seen the rivers rising overtake their banks
Like cities that crumble under bombs and tanks
Empires come and empires go
Oh, you can dam the river but you can't [?] the flow
I ain't fighting no wars in God knows where
How much soul can the whole world spare
How many flags we all gotta fold
Before the empire's buried under blood and gold?

[Chorus]
You can gain the whole world
But it'll cost your soul
Oh, everybody dies
Clinging to fool's gold
Give me what's real
What doesn't rust or fade
Come hell or high water
Come Judgement Day

[Verse 3]
Give me my job at the corner store
And I will sell liquor till we close the door
We can keep lights on just fine
And I can pay the rent on time
Give me my gun in the morning day
Oh, give me my wife with the worn out sheets
Give me my son with his toothy grin
And I will live this life again
Oh, I would live this life again
Yeah, I would live this life again

[Chorus]
You can gain the whole world
But it'll cost your soul
Oh, everybody dies
Clinging to fool's gold, yeah
You can gain the whole world
But it'll cost your soul
Oh, everybody dies
Clinging to fool's gold
Give me what's real
What doesn't rust or fade
Come hell or high water
Come Judgement Day
