Lyrics Testify or Say Goodbye - Black Star Riders

Testify or Say Goodbye

Vulnerability is a liability
There ain’t no plage for it in this life
The only guarantee is a dead certainty
That no one gets out of here alive
Animosity will never let you be
It will never let your soul relax
Feeling like a needle in an old jukebox
Your heart’s skipping all over the tracks
So let this great world spin around around around around
You gotta testify or say goodbye
Tell me no secrets, tell me no lies
Get up on the stand look me straight in the eye
You gotta testify or say goodbye
Time to make a proposition
Go tell all the opposition
You can’t keep a good man down
Everyone’s got their own solutions
To their private revolutions
Don’t let 'em run you out of town
No time to hesitate
Don’t make that same mistake
Stop dragging yourself around
Don’t you know that when you go
You can’t take it with you 'cause…
There ain’t no pockets in a shroud
So let this great world spin around around around around
You gotta testify or say goodbye
Tell me no secrets, tell me no lies
Get up on the stand look me straight in the eye
You gotta testify or say goodbye
