[Verse 1]
The writer wrote
The singer sung
The record broke
The audience was stunned
Some they begged for mercy
Others even cried
Some they fled, left for dead
Some said it changed their lives
[Pre-Chorus]
And the writer said, I wish you'd known me
When I still believed in the truth
Now it's all I have left
Along with my debts and lack of youth
He said—
[Chorus]
Take no prisoners (Take no)
Tell no lies (Tell no)
No pretty songs of compromise
Take no prisoners (Take no)
Tell no lies
It's a good day to die
[Verse 2]
God spoke
The people laughed
The tablets broke
While they were pissing on the golden calf
Some they found their heaven
Others found their hell
Some they ran to Canaan land
Some just lay where they fell
