lyrics

Old Testament Justice
By Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC

In at number six of the top ten commandments
Do not kill because you know it ain't right
Hair standing straight up on the back of a black cat
Someone here is gonna die tonight

I ran out of whiskey
I ran out of patience
Got two bullets and a shiny gun
I'm gonna get me a mess of that justice
Just before the next rising sun

Tonight is the night of Old Testament justice
Who is going to pay the price
Someone here, getting justice
Someone else getting sacrificed
Sacrificed

Top ten commandments don't mention mercy
Top ten commandments don't talk about love
They just rules that are too hard to follow
When I finally had enough

Tonight is the night of Old Testament justice
Who is gonnato pay the price
Someone here, getting justice
Someone else getting sacrificed
Sacrificed

Lead

Still at number six of the top ten commandments
Do not kill because you know it ain't right
Hair standing straight up on the back of a black cat
Someone here is gonna die tonight
Someone here is gonna die
Someone here is gonna die
Tonight

Hair standing straight up on the back of a black cat
Someone here is gonna die tonight
