He Bought Me Nikes by Ellie Bleach Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Charisma of a cult leader
Entitled as an aristocrat
Persistent as a cold caller
Overbearing mother, distant dad
[Chorus]
And when you're coming down on a Sunday
After last night's ritual
You can't shake the feeling
This is all so predictable
[Verse 2]
The diction of a dictator
You have them eating out your hand
And if they all want salvation
The halebop will lead us to the promised land
[Chorus]
And when you're coming down on a Sunday
After last night's holy rites
You can't shake the feeling
You need more than just an acolyte
[Bridge]
Prepare the pulpit, prepare the rosaries
Put on your Nikes
Baptize me, chastise me, smite me
(He's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna)
He's gonna make it all okay
(He's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna)
He's gonna make it all okay
(He's gonna, he's gonna) Make it all okay
[Outro]
And when you say you can never love me
That you're a coward, a fraud, a fake
I can't shake the feeling this could all be a test of faith
Charisma of a cult leader
Entitled as an aristocrat
Persistent as a cold caller
Overbearing mother, distant dad
[Chorus]
And when you're coming down on a Sunday
After last night's ritual
You can't shake the feeling
This is all so predictable
[Verse 2]
The diction of a dictator
You have them eating out your hand
And if they all want salvation
The halebop will lead us to the promised land
[Chorus]
And when you're coming down on a Sunday
After last night's holy rites
You can't shake the feeling
You need more than just an acolyte
[Bridge]
Prepare the pulpit, prepare the rosaries
Put on your Nikes
Baptize me, chastise me, smite me
(He's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna)
He's gonna make it all okay
(He's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna)
He's gonna make it all okay
(He's gonna, he's gonna) Make it all okay
[Outro]
And when you say you can never love me
That you're a coward, a fraud, a fake
I can't shake the feeling this could all be a test of faith
