The Jig Is Up Lyrics

[Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Both]
If the choice is to kill or be killed
Let the darker blood spill

'Cause it feeds the drive to stay alive
Unnatural selection engage!
Two rats in a cage
One reborn and one to mourn


[Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck ]
My blueprint to salvation
Shall breed a worthy generation
That know they are the ones to blame
And never will forget my name
You wanna play a fucking game?
Then let's play!
All systems go!

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
I saw through the selfish but saw no soul
They saw through skin, they saw through bone
Out on a limb to save my city
All systems go!
They're all just gears in my machine
I savor every puzzled scream
A piece of them to carry with me

All systems go!
[Breakdown: Spoken Word]
They said they had a purpose
But they're losing their composure
They said that they were grateful
But the jig is up...
Game over!

[Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
Will you find integrity
When there's nothing left of me?
All systems go!

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
I saw through the selfish but saw no soul
They saw through skin, they saw through bone
Out on a limb to save my city
All systems go!
They're all just gears in my machine
I savor every puzzled scream
A piece of them to carry with me

All systems go!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“The Jig is Up” was inspired by the horror franchise SAW which revolves around John Kramer, also called the “Jigsaw Killer” or simply “Jigsaw” who tortures his victims with a series of puzzles he calls games. He believes that if people are willing to sacrifice something valuable to themselves and are able to live through physical or psychological torture, they will be rehabilitated or cleansed from the sins they have committed.
