Come drink the water if you want to be saved

It's all still water if it's not flowing free

If you ain't got money, it can't save your soul

  All God's people said a-men

  All God's people said a-men

Nobody prays unless they lose a son

Don't believe in God till a war's to be won 
Am 
I know of lies by the truths I've been told 
Am                            E 
The biggest one is that we're not growing old 

Am 
It's not a sin if it don't make me cry 
Am                                E 
He's not the devil unless there's fire in his eyes 
Am 
It ain't the ghost if it don't speak in tongue

It's not a victory 'till the battles been won
