We Got the Whip Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Long days and nights you fought for truth
Gotta hand it to you
Uprise and paid for in blood
Only to love

We're gonna hang you up
You've got balls but

[Chorus]
We got the whip, we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip, we got a better bomb
We got the whip, we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip, we got a better bomb

[Verse 2]
Heartache and strife is all you've known
A slave since your youth
And only one life to bargain with
Admiration is due

We're gonna string you up
You've got balls but
[Chorus]
We got the whip, we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip, we got a better bomb
We got the whip, we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip, we got a better bomb, yeah

[Bridge]
Fearlessness in the face of death
Hand it with a smile
Braving the fight until the end
I know I will never be like you

[Chorus]
We got the whip, we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip, we got a better bomb
We got the whip, we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip, we got a better bomb

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
