Hitting on All Sevens

General Information
Hitting on All Sevens is a song by Tech N9ne featuring Lyndon Smith. In the film it occurs after June has stolen a restricted book and has been punished for her rebellion by being thrown down into Hell. The other applicants are gathered in the library for atonement by restoring order and the song is meant to remind the applicants of their place so that they will not follow the same path as the now fallen June.

Lyrics
Make of me a subject bound Cased in halls and hushed of sound

On the rack is art in heaven Always hitting on all sevens

By the book

Seven pillars handed down Make of me thy subject Lord Placed according to thy word Never inter crossed in heaven Always hitting on all sevens

By the book

Seven pillars by thy sword One by one as ordered Flank to flank and facing forward Hanging by the word In chapter, verse and sentence heard

Caste one, kept as pets Caste two, steer the flock Caste three, plumes and pelts Caste four, birds of song Caste five, watching dogs Caste six, preying beast Caste seven, working horses One by one

Make of me a subject caste Pressed and kept beneath thy glass Every heart thy sent in heaven Always hitting on all sevens

By the book

Seven pillars under latch

One by one as ordered Flank to flank and facing forward Hanging by the word In chapter, verse and sentence heard

Caste one, kept as pets Caste two, steer the flock Caste three, plumes and pelts Caste four, birds of song Caste five, watching dogs Caste six, preying beast Caste seven, working horses One by one

1 thy animal companion at thy lap herds with abandon 2 are shepherds of the flock who teach and cultivate thy stock 3 of poultry, 3 of feathered grace thy halls with silk and heather 4 for birds of song and hymn that chirp devotion by thy whim 5 in cover watch and waits, sniffin out thy truth and straight 6 of beasts of prey that gnaw explain the word with tooth and claw 7 working horses haul their mighty labors till they

Fall in line Fall in line Fall in line

On the rack is art in heaven Always hitting on all sevens Always hitting on all sevens Always hitting on all sevens

By the book

Always seven written down
