I'm just a poor boy
Beat down by the sun And I work for the man over there Behind the barrel of his gun He's got his money And he's got his power And he's got that gun So I'm here in the sun Working by the hour Because I've got no money And I've got no gun I'm burnt by the sun You know my Daddy He's a working man And he swung a hammer Until it broke his hand He loves his Woman Two daughters and son And he fed his family Working for the man with the gun Because he loves his Woman And he has no gun He's burnt by the sun We've got no money But we've got our love We've got no money But we've got our love We've got our love But we've got no guns So we're burnt by the sun 02. The Devil And The DEA
Freeze
Now don't make a sound Spread your arms and legs Now lay face down We know you're holding son Said the man in the mask The one holding the machine gun We've been watching this place for years Now we've got a warrant So you can stay right there We're gonna find what we're looking for We're gonna find it They said this was a church One of universal love and music We had come to play It was a revival And it would last all day But they came to take us away Some say it was The Devil But I say it was The DEA We're gonna find what we're looking for We're gonna find it 03. Twitch
Well
I've got some needs And I've got you on my mind I've had a drink A pill I'm ready to fly So babe Will you come over tonight You know I Just left the bar so now the timing is right For me to call you up and have you come by Because babe You make me feel just right You make me shake and you make me twitch Baby girl you got me down on my knees Baby girl I'm begging Please please please please please Will come over tonight What do I have to do What do I have to say What do I have to do What do I have to say baby I need you every way You make me shake and you make me twitch Baby when you do that thing It makes me shake And it makes me twitch 04. The Hudson
I drowned my baby last night
Around 5AM Well she used and abused me And there's only so much that a man can take We met on a bridge that lead to a hook And that's where she'd give her last look She'd asked me to come So that she could say good bye to her and I Another time Well my love and time was wasted And my body's breaking This is gonna take a whole lot of love out of me So what happened next I'm not really sure But lord I feel like all my sickness is cured The Hudson looked me right in the eye and said son it's time It's time Take her down to the river Well my love and time was wasted And my body's breaking This is gonna take a whole lot of love out of me 05. Lord I'm Coming Home
Well I hear sirens around me
And I see lights in my mirror There's a girl floating down stream Because I put her in the river You'll never take me alive I'm heading strait for the border Sunny days and white sand Senoritas Tequila Oh Lord I'm coming home You'll never take me alive Now they've got me surrounded I've only got one chance Pull out my gun I'm gonna make this fun Because I am Butch I am Sundance Oh Lord I'm coming home 06. Shoot You Down
My girl is the one at the top of the mountain
My girl is the one at the bottom of the sea My girl is the one with the gun Pointed strait at your mouth My girl she don't mess around She'll shoot you down If you come around She'll shoot you down Well I told you she climbed to the top of the mountain And I told you she swam to the bottom of the sea And I warned you my girl was the one with the gun Now she blew off your mouth Man I told you She don't fuck around She'll shoot you down If you come around She'll shoot you down 07. If God Is Love
If God is Love
The Devil is fear And baby I'll be right here At the crossroads Yeah baby I'm at the crossroads So I'll go left And you go right And let's see where we end tonight You might be far away But I'm right here Waiting for you my dear At the crossroads But honey you know That I'm getting old And I can't wait much longer now baby So I'll go left And you go right And let's see where we end tonight Baby can't you see You had me down on one knee Now Love and Fear They're both here And they're laughing at you and me They're laughing at us 08. Nobody Ever Broke Your Heart
You're singing songs about heartbreak
You're singing about a love that you had but lost You're singing songs about a boy Who broke your heart and left you flat But I know for a fact No one No one ever No one No one ever No one No one ever Nobody ever broke your heart So tell me when Did this tragedy occur Because I remember girl When it was me That it was you Breaking hearts into two No one No one ever No one No one ever No one No one ever Nobody ever broke your heart 09. Ghost
We were young
Just little ghosts walking among the dead One day our heavenly father He took our hands And this is what he said You will fight with Tooth and Nail To push your Legacy ahead Now you must fight with tooth and nail To push your legacy ahead I am holding on To the ghost of you We were already dead So we changed our name Changed our style Changed our point of view Just like all their other successful bands do Now bring in the suit He'll be the final tool to turn the screw And suck our souls dry Leaving us walking the earth Without a clue I am holding on To the ghost of you We were already dead There is no secret to our misfortune Or why at this age I still can't find my way There is a man He sits behind a desk His name is Evil And we make a new deal Every day I am holding on To the ghost of you We were already dead 10. Simple And True
He traveled long
Through the heartbreak But he was weary Needed a drink He threw his glass over his shoulder And that was the last time I'd see my brother No one he loved will be the same No one he loved will be the same Now whiskey's flowing through his veins His darkest thoughts Run through his brain He was selfish And my family My Friends That night his sentence Came to an end No one he loved will be the same No one he loved will be the same If one day I should see you If your ghost should come to me Say something simple Like my friend I've missed you Something simple Simple and true |
