about

Rob Riley's 'C.O.A.B. (Christ On A Bike)' is a deep, thought-provoking song tackling the trials of life and personal conviction. It talks about the world's various devils such as money and circumstance. The lyrics question society's relentless pursuit of materialism and suggests that purpose and fulfillment cannot be found in these worldly things. The song also presents the idea of self-knowledge, urging listeners to be true to themselves and not be influenced by societal expectations. Lastly, the song addresses resilience, asserting that despite the odds, we continue standing, which is the real 'magic'.

lyrics

Verse
There’s several different devils
Some being money and circumstance
Circumvent the former for lack of
A better purpose and
Notice who all searching for purpose
Ain’t worth the work put in
Certainly the servants at service
Don’t have to show and tell
Know what sells…
The categories gory and hopeless hell
Not to self that there ain’t for me
Boring to no avail
Show and tell
Don’t wool pull over of cloak yourself
Know yourself
Intentions clear as moat or open well
We went from atoms to Adam
Half of em couldn’t fathom
Problems we’ve all had em
Don’t believe me ask em
Now that we taking action
Half of em can’t stand it
Fact is we still standing
That right there’s the magic

Hook
They’ve denied trying to keep us
From what we wasn’t seeing
But they ain’t know our secret
We the gods they out here seeking
