Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Like the old prophets who were loyal to their Gods
He stayed true to family & friends, against the odds
And every night he sat and worked with his old lamp
He built inside his workshop millions of machines
Machines of life, machines of knives
Against your cheeks they gently slip.
Billy Kramer, when will you go to sleep
It obvious that you are getting the shakes
And Lady Justice isn't so oblivious
She will wait for you until the dawn breaks
Chorus:
John & Gideon
One long dead, one still unborn
They play & play, they play & play
The production is stalled, but the game's on.
If the franchise is sleeping many years, so what?
Let's extract it right now, just like ABBA, from its dust
Reversed bear trap, Amanda Young, Dr. Gordon
It's looking like Armageddon
So make one more, Saw Eleven
So make it great, we'll make the franchise great again.
And many games will be conceived
Inventive like Lin-Manuel Miranda
And the franchise will rise
And will not recognize itself at all
Recognize itself just like Amanda
Chorus:
Billy Kramer...
When Gideon has ended, Johnny said to her:
I will help the people so one day they start to care
He did his doctor and the insurance exec
Even the nurse who hastily mixed X-rays, check
He made them all become more whole
To care about another soul.
For Gideon - he built the puppet Billy
It scared the living Hell of his wife Jilly
But something drove him to avenge the silly
Gideon son of John,
That was never really born
From the womb was torn.
Chorus:
Billy Kramer...
(X2)
Outro:
The production is stalled, but the game's on
La la la la la la...
