It was a Saturday night at the lakeside
And I was strung out on a spiritual high
I checked my brain as I went through the door
Pure adrenaline was getting me by
There was gold dust falling, there were angels calling
There were people lying flat on the floor
But when the word of God was nowhere in sight
Then I wondered what I came there for
I just can’t take it, you know I can’t take any more
I just can’t take it, you know I can’t take any more
There were false apostles to the left of me
There were false prophets to my right
Hypnotic music it was leading me on
It seemed that I would lose the fight
I put my hand in my pocket
As the bucket was passed around
I raised my hands and I started to shout
As another body hit the ground
I just can’t take it, you know I can’t take any more
I just can’t take it, you know I can’t take any more
Cause it’s a hot summer night
There’s a cat fight out in the alleyway
Some blood is gonna get spilled
Somebody’s gonna have to pay
I’ve been searching so long that I don’t know what is true
I’ve been looking for a spiritual fix just to see me through
I gave up everything I had just to get a piece of this revival
To see some guy who up in heaven met some guys who wrote the bible
Wam bam it’s a miracle man
As the drunken glory’s coming down
It’s a head shaking, record breaking, money taking circus
Being led by another clown
Forget the voice of reason they say
Cause God’s doing something new
But which God? And what is his purpose?
And just what is he leading you to.
I just can’t take it, you know I can’t take any more
‘Cause when the crowd started jumping and the lights turned red
He jumped up turned around and kicked her in the head
Cause it’s a hot summer night
There’s a cat fight out in the alleyway
Some blood is gonna get spilled
Somebody’s gonna have to pay
Cause it’s a hot summer night
There’s a cat fight out in the alleyway
Some blood is gonna get spilled
Somebody’s gonna have to pay
