Rock This City

(Acts 16:16-34)
parody of Toxicity written and performed by System Of A Down

Soul surgeon, exorcism, slave-girl let go
Locking up guys who denied owners’ cashing up
Beaten bleeding they’re shown wide hostility
They shocked this city, shocked this city, shocked this city


Jews
Made Romans perturbed
Lock them alone they ordered, the warder
Now
Some prayers and hymns they break the silence
Paul and Silas can’t sleep
Songs there because now Paul and Silas can’t sleep
The warder, the warder, the warder

Door wood broken flying off like papers
Midnight sentry woke with the scared fright as he’s struck
Bleeding knees as some seismic activity
Did rock this city, rock this city, rock this city

No
Cons have flown like birds
Now that he’s failed his orders, the warder
Now
Stands there he means to take his life he
Takes his knife from its sheath
Paul yells we’re here so lay sword aside and see
We’re all here, sir warder, sir warder

You
What do I need, sirs
How can I meet the Saviour
Now
Now there he’s keen the jailer guy wants
Paul and Silas to speak
Love shared they preached to jailer guy who believed
They prayed for, this warder, this warder

Then he beheld the Son who brought life into his cleansed heart
Then he beheld the Son who brought life into his cleansed heart
