Audioslave - Set It Off Lyrics






He was standing at the rock
Gathering the flock
And getting there with no directions
And underneath the arch, it turned into a march
And there he found the spark to, set this fucker off

Set it off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Alright
Set it off
Set it off now chldren
Set a fire
Set it off
Set it off now children

Suddenly a shot
Ripped into his heart
He lay in need of some attention
And there he played his card
Going into shock
The last thing that he said was, set this fucker off

Set it off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Alright
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set a fire
Set it off
Set it off now children
Alright, alright, alright. Alright, alright, alright

Jesus at the back door
Everything is all right
All we need is some direction
Every time the wind blows, everything you don't know
Turns into a revelation
And it all adds up inside your head
Time is wasting

Set it off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Alright
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set a fire
Set it off
Set it off now children
Alright, alright, alright. Alright, alright, alright

    And getting there with no directions
    And underneath the arch
    It turned into a march
    And there he found the spark to set this fucker off

    [Chorus 1]
    Set it off, set it off now children

    Set a fire
    Set it off, set it off now children

    [Verse 2]
    Suddenly a shot
    Ripped into his heart
    And he lay in need of some attention
    And there he played his card

    Time is wasting

    [Chorus 1]

    What a tragedy. It's surreal. How can he be gone? One of the greatest voices in the world. Audioslave was one of the greatest bands ever.

  94. H.... P....

    RiP Chris, you were great. ;(

  95. R.... M....

    RIP Chris , Yahweh bless and keep you . 'Set it off' up there , Going to be a SERIOUS Concert in heaven this summer. . . .

  96. h.... ....

    My favorite Audioslave song. Today was so shocking. Everyone said Chris seemed upbeat in his recent concerts and in his social media posts. His past struggles are well
    documented, but I thought he had put his personal demons behind him. I
    don't want anyone to continue to suffer their whole lives just because
    it makes others feel bad if they are gone, but I wonder if Chris every
    tried any psychiatric therapy. It's cliched but I feel he "robbed us of
    his talent." With all the anger, confusion, and pain this country
    seems to be in, we need a voice like his to express these feelings. RIP
    Chris.

    h.... ....

    humboldtus depression is just like cancer. It will eat u from inside and the treatment isn't 100% effective. rIp Chris, hope u finally got rid of the pain.

    h.... ....

    I don't think I have ever heard such a selfish, lack of understanding or compassion in my life. He CHEATED YOU from music!!!!! You have an issue
    Some people are not able to deal with the demons in life. Most of those are some of the greatest artist // musicians . I don't think it is someone 's place to pass judgement or speculate on what treatment he may have had. Maybe
    write a letter to his remaining family members and tell them how you feel
    CHEATED. He gave what he was able to give let his memory and the wonderful music he left be enough for you . He was not put here to be anything but a human being .

  97. H.... A....

    Only Power,
    Thank you chris cornell D.T.B

  98. L.... C....

    1st listening when my age 20s, so inspiring, motivating n nice song for desperate moment
