Let’s Roll Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know I said I love you, I know you know it's true
I've got to put the phone down and do what we got to do
One's standing in the aisleway, two more at the door
We've got to get inside there before they kill some more
[Chorus]
Time is running out
Let's roll
Time is running out
Let's roll
[Verse 2]
No time for indecision, we've got to make a move
I hope that we're forgiven for what we got to do
How this all got started, I'll never understand
I hope someone can fly this thing and get us back to land
[Chorus]
Time is running out
Let's roll
Time is running out
Let's roll
[Bridge]
No one has the answer, but one thing is true
You've got to turn on evil when it's coming after you
You've got to face it down and when it tries to hide
You've got to go in after it and never be denied
I know I said I love you, I know you know it's true
I've got to put the phone down and do what we got to do
One's standing in the aisleway, two more at the door
We've got to get inside there before they kill some more
[Chorus]
Time is running out
Let's roll
Time is running out
Let's roll
[Verse 2]
No time for indecision, we've got to make a move
I hope that we're forgiven for what we got to do
How this all got started, I'll never understand
I hope someone can fly this thing and get us back to land
[Chorus]
Time is running out
Let's roll
Time is running out
Let's roll
[Bridge]
No one has the answer, but one thing is true
You've got to turn on evil when it's coming after you
You've got to face it down and when it tries to hide
You've got to go in after it and never be denied
[Chorus]
Time is running out
Let's roll
[Verse 3]
Let's roll for freedom, let's roll for love
We're going after Satan on the wings of a dove
Let's roll for justice, let's roll for truth
Let's not let our children grow up fearful in their youth
[Chorus]
Time is running out
Let's roll
Time is running out
Let's roll
Time is running out
Let's roll
[Verse 3]
Let's roll for freedom, let's roll for love
We're going after Satan on the wings of a dove
Let's roll for justice, let's roll for truth
Let's not let our children grow up fearful in their youth
[Chorus]
Time is running out
Let's roll
Time is running out
Let's roll
