brian reith – bottom of the 9th lyrics

[intro: b. reith]
come on, baby, baby
come on, baby, baby
come on, come on, come on
i told you i’d come through for you knine
a little late though, bottom of the 9th
let’s go

[verse 1: b.reith]
now i’ve never been very -ssertive
i guess always preferred to just keep my mouth shut
so a lotta unspoken words are comin’ out now
figured i’d speak out loud before it’s too late
for me to get my thoughts out
this world is so perverted
from sex, greed to murder
we’ve been touched by the clergy
and guilty’s the verdict
but thank god the high priest interceded and cleared up
the dirt that i stirred up
it sure doesn’t take a lot for me to be sure of
the fact that for my sins i deserve to be murdered
but thankfully the livin’ word is somethin’ i’ve heard of
which means that death is somethin’
i don’t gotta be scurred of
i been cured of it
now all the years that i’ve wasted and all the tears that i’ve tasted
have forced me to face the truth and embrace it
which leaves me to the question, it’s simple and basic:
what is true life and have you ever tasted it?

[hook: b.reith]
there’s only one thing to live for, die for, get k!lled for
and no, it’s not what they sellin’ on them billboards
death is for certain– you can’t take the pill for it
it’s happenin’ whether you will or won’t ignore it
look at the signs, we runnin’ outta time
there’s work to be done, it’s the bottom of the 9th
get busy, hey, so get busy, hey
choose life, seek christ and get busy, hey

[verse 2: knine]
well, it’s the bottom of the 9th
three b-lls and two strikes
and god’s loaded the bases
so i’m goin’ up to the plate where satan’s ace is
he’ll try to throw me some garbage, hopin’ i take it
but i’m patient
he know i chased it in my past life, wanted the fast life
but i have christ so that erased it–it’s ancient
was with the devil ’til i figured out he can’t win
i play with the angels now, no longer a free agent
i was losing the game until he saved it
we ain’t the dodgers, we the braves
so we facin’ the fact that when you leave here
it’s only one of two places
either you’re out or you’re safest
really no way kids should have to die
we just gotta wave ’em home
jesus been made the sacrifice for our souls
open your eyes, coach is giving you the sign
batter up, homie
the game’s on the line, let’s go

[verse 3: b.reith]
so when you’re tired and low down
and everything seems to go wrong
put on your rally caps and be strong
we down in the bottom of the 9th but know now
the one who’s going to win the showdown
so keep, keep on
keep fightin’ the whole round and know the same one
who’s faithful is gon’ crown
he sees ya
so get busy, hey, hey, get busy, hey
he’s so proud, you’re his own child, believe it

[bridge]
you only got one life to live
you only got one life to live
you only got one life to live
you only got one life to give
you only got one life to lose
only got one life to choose
what you gon’ live for
there’s only one thing worth livin’ for

[hook]
there’s only one thing to live for, die for, get k!lled for
and no, it’s not what they sellin’ on them billboards
death is for certain– you can’t take the pill for it
it’s happenin’ whether you will or won’t ignore it
look at the signs, we runnin’ outta time
there’s work to be done, it’s the bottom of the 9th
get busy, hey, so get busy, hey
choose life, seek christ and get busy, hey
