Shame be saved or dog be damned
Hand in the air or head in the sand
It's all the same from where I stand
I got the weight of the world
The blood we give, the roads we take
There's never a simple twist of fate We will bend and we will break
Under the weight of the world
You got nothing on your mind Daddy's got a big old axe to grind
You can just take your sweet time I'll take the weight of the world
You know El,
the king of kings You know where his hammer swings
And you know most of everything But I know the weight of the world
So shame be saved or dog be damned
Nothing's turned out like we planned
You'll be crowned right where you
stand I'll be the weight of the world
You got nothing on your mind Daddy's got a bundle of bones to find
You sure got out just in time And I got the weight of the world
You got nothing on your mind Daddy's got a big old axe to grind
You can just take your sweet time I'll take the weight of the world
You can just take your sweet time I'll take the weight of the world
