Tom Morello – Whatever It Takes

Storm clouds won’t bother to gather

She cashed in and cut the tether

She’s gone, it’s no mistake

the angels have come too late

they’ve come too late

In my hands I hold the proof

That something’s sure to hit you

pure flesh and bone to rip through

Don’t let them tie you to the stake

whatever it takes

blood waters raise the ramparts

I’ll meet you now wherever you are

I’m here until the frontline breaks

whatever it takes

Then she turned off the headlights,

cranked the radio, ran the redlights

never found the missing bride

windows dark but they’re all inside

they’re all inside…

In my hands I hold the proof

That something’s sure to hit you

pure flesh and bone to rip through

Don’t let them tie you to the stake

whatever it takes

blood waters raise the ramparts

I’ll meet you now wherever you are

I’m here until the frontline breaks

whatever it takes

General without an Army

I stopped lookin, then they found me

on the hill a horn is blowin

it’s over man, you just don’t know it

That something’s sure to hit you

pure flesh and bone to rip through

Don’t let them tie you to the stake

whatever it takes

blood waters raise the ramparts

I’ll meet you now wherever you are

I’m here until the frontline breaks

whatever it takes

Come backwards through the red room

A jungle of thieves to get through

Time’s up, how long you gonna waste

Whatever it takes…

So Jack grab paper and pen

I’ll say once, we’ll say it again.

Loosen the core until it shakes.

whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes.
