    Lyrics:
    Hand on The Bible lies
    Maggots turn to flies
    The whole world’s gone to hell
    Momma’s back in jail
    Just can’t get enough
    Think we’ve had too much
    Gunfire in the school
    Melt down the golden rule
    Wear your promise ring
    The preacher’s got a thing for me
    Keep it to yourself
    The whole world’s gone to hell
    A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin to make more room for the poison
    And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
    The louder one above the rest will call himself a rebel
    There's the one you know and there’s the one you don't
    But they're still both the devil
    Work hard for the man
    Spare the rod hell, use your hands
    The hate will break you down
    You’re the toughest guy in town
    Oh say can you see
    The nearest pharmacy
    A needle to the vein
    Might be the thing that’ll kill the pain
    Go trade away your soul
    You swear the world will never know
    That you were even here
    How he whispers in your ear...
    A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin to make more room for the poison
    And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
    The louder one above the rest will call himself the rebel
    There's the one you know and there’s the one you don't
    But they're still both the devil
    As I lay me down
    Go on, get behind thee now
    A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin to make more room for the poison
    And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
    The louder one above the rest will call himself the rebel
    There's the one you know and there’s the one you don't
    But they're still both the devil

    This acoustic solo version was released on Instagram recently and it gave me a feeling I rarely get anymore. I had a sense of experiencing something completely unique and essentially perfect. This man is a true poet. There are so few in the world who can create something like this. It’s humbling to witness.

    Seen this dude live a couple times now.
    Having met him, and seen the way he interacts with fans, everything points to him being a really grateful and humble person. I bet he would have taken the time to get to know everyone at each show if he was able.
    His music is reason enough to support him, but I’d also rather show up for someone who happens to be a genuinely good person. I’ll show up for Stephen every time.

    There are 22 songs on the album and no filler. A mix of Springsteen, Sturgill Simpson, Nirvana and more. Deep, affecting songwriting, vocal and instrumentation, beautiful guitar sound. So glad I found Stephen's music. Really great version of the album track.

  • @jjstrumr692
    @jjstrumr692 Год назад +8

    His whole album is just one fantastic song after another. This is such a high level of song writing that virtually no other 'country' artist is doing. His subject matter transcends the toe-tappin', line-dancing, pain-drinking, baby-done-left-me country fodder on the radio. Nobody does it quite like SW Jr.

    I just did a year in an all male Christian rehab programme. On New years eve we did like an X factor thing, I keep imagining how well this song/performance would have gone down among the lads. 'A needle to the vein, might be the thing that will kill the pain, but dont trade away your soul.' I fucking love this guy. I've had this song on repeat for about a week now. Love from Liverpool, UK.

    Best new artist discovery this year and probably for the last several. And there have been some great ones actually. This acoustic performance has a power that's rarely felt. Redemption and destruction, pride and pity, hope and doubt are all so incredibly communicated in the notes, the tone, cadence of guitar and voice. And that big note with that touch of reverb near the end.... felt the universe stand still a moment at that.
