Satan, Bite The Dust

Carman


Party's over, shut it down, 
I'm huntin' for someone y'all 
He's a lyin' thievin'rattlesnake 
and he's broken every law 
He's terrorized the lives 
of men and he's under arrest 
because I've been sent 
with a warrant from the body of Christ 
-Well, tell me what it says then! - 
"Satan, bite the dust!" 
Every one of you unclean spirits, 
I'm runnin' you outta town 
Depression, strife, 
disease and fear, your posse's goin' down 
-Boy, last tenderfoot who 
talked that big we sent him home in a box - 

But I know who I am 
through Jesus Christ so I talk to you demons like dogs 
Satan you coward, you molester of souls, 
I command you to appear 
You're hidin' from the presence of God but 
I can feel your fear from here 
-You rattled my chain, boy, long enough, you 
got something in your craw? - 
A praying church wants you to know 
- Know what? - 
Your kingdom's gonna fall 
-There's gonna be 
trouble here tonight - 

CHORUS(1): 
'Cause I represent a 
whole new breed of Christian of today 
And I'm authorized and 
deputized to blow you clean away 
I've got a message to 
deliver from One who's true and just 
We'll spit in your eye, 
you father of lies 
Satan, bite the dust! 

-Boy, you gonna take me on and my unholy herd?- 
Not only take you on, but 
take you out by the Spirit and the Word 
One by one you'll drop 
like flies under foot and in the ground 
Because greater is He who is in me 
than the snake I'm starin' down 
You demon of alcoholism, 
you'll be the first to go 
There's deliverance from you 
through Jesus Christ, so, hit the road! 
You spirit of infirmity, 
you ain't welcome here no more 
We lay hands on the sick 
and they recover so, out the door! 
You demon of false religion, 
you've preyed on minds so simple 
I bind the spirit of your songs, 
so el kabong! 
Play that in your temple! 
Now Satan you're next in line, 
I'm gonna hit you where it hurts 
'Cause I'm tired of you in 
my family and I'm tired 
of you in my church 
I'm not my own, 
I'm bought with a price, 
I'm a Holy Ghost filled man 
And I'm tollin' the bell of 
your eternal destruction 
'cross the land 

CHORUS(2): 
'Cause I represent a 
whole new breed of Christian of today 
And I'm authorized and 
deputized to blow you clean away 
I've got a weapon with 
two bullets that overcome all sin and crud 
One bullet is called the word of my testimony, 
and the other one's called The Blood 
Satan, bite the dust! 
Bite the dust! 
Well how do you feel about that, devil? 
-I'm afeelin' mighty low- 
Good!
