lyrics

You keep jabbing about all the dues that you paid, but that's about sacrifice and you were trying to get laid. Just cause you got here before me that don't mean you can stay, wouldn't be minding your "business" if you'd take it away.

See I ain't paid to play, but I was sent here. Make my rent here. Your daddy went here? Well I was sent here, I was sent here to save rock and roll.

Well Father Misty's a mountain talking end of the age, while St. Vincent sells diamonds on the Mastercard stage. But while you're posing for prophets there's a war to be waged. Your nihilism ain't wisdom, it don't make you a sage.

Yeah I know it's all the rage, but maybe you should be saved. And I was sent here to do what I'm meant here. Sinners repent here! Cause I was sent here, I was sent here to save rock and roll.

And I was sent here to make my dent here. Get your sacraments here! Cause I was sent here, I was sent here to save rock and roll.
