Jacks Of All Trades Lyrics

Blasting the radio screams alone on the floor
The singer is drowning out the voice of God by listening to the radio at a high volume, while feeling lonely and defeated.

Drowning the silent sound of His call

Empty words flow in the darkness

Hell fire in your soul shooting out sparkles

The gates were open when the rich man died

But instead he went to the other side
The rich man did not make it to heaven, and instead went to Hell.

And Lazarus took his place

Told you the truth and eased your fears

And that one look was all it took

For the angel to close the big black book
