[Verse 1]
BmYou had the world in your hands
Gand you threw it at a kid.
DYou had a record, had a tour,
Ahad everything and look what you did.
BmTwenty-two with pictures of a child
Gyou should have never had.
DYou called it love, called it mutual
Ayou call it everything but bad.
BmShe couldn´t even drive, yet
Gbut she was old enough for you.
DYou beg a child to undress
Aand call it something she wanted to.
BmThey dropped you from the label,
Gdroped the tour, dropped every gig.
DBut never dropped you in a cell
Afor what you did to all those kids.
 
 
[Chorus]
G DBy their fruits you shall know them
A Bmthat´s the verse, right Jake?
G DSo where´s the fruit where´s the harvest?
A BmAll I see´s a fake.
G DBorn again, washed clean, redeemed.
A Bmthat´s what you love to say.
GBut you love Jesus like you love those girls
A Bmjust to get your way.
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
BmFrom ruin to redemption
Gthat’s a hell of a rebrand.
DYou swapped the sex for scripture
Awith the same disgusting hands.
BmYou called yourself a new creation,
GCall the old you dead.
DBut every girl who trusted you
Astill carries what you said.
BmYou told one you‘d tie her down
Gshe was sixteen at the time.
 
Then called it mutual, call it willing
D Acalled it anything but crime.
BmYou cried about your self-esteem,
Gyour bullies and your teeth.
DLike childhood pain‘s a permission slip
Afor everything beneath.
 
 
[Chorus]
G DBy their fruits you shall know them
A Bmthat´s the verse, right Jake?
G DSo where´s the fruit where´s the change, man?
A BmAll I see´s a snake.
G DYou wrapped your sense in salvation
A Bmlike a gift you gave yourself.
GYou love the cross cause it´s the only thing
Athat kept you out of hell.
 
 
[Verse 3]
BmYou found my page, you found my name
Gyou couldn´t let it drop.
DSame patterns different target
AJake, you don´t know when to stop.
BmYou see me play the sound
Gyou threw away for what you did.
DAnd it kills you that I Do it better
Awithout touching a single kid.
G DWhere´s the repedance, where´s the fruit?
A BmWhere´s the proof you changed at all?
G DSeems like the only thing you woreship
A Bmis what makes you feel tall.
 
 
[Chorus]
G DBy their fruits you shall know them
A Bmthat´s the verse, right Jake?
G DWhere´s the fruit where´s the kingdom?
A BmAll I see´s a fraud awake.
G DYou say you love the lord
A Bmbut brother where´s the evidence?
G DSeems like you love the children more
A Bmand that´s a hell of a testament.
