I'll listen to your tired steps Your baby will wait for you There's a perfect shining fire That lights your way
I hide myself behind your black elegant suit Watching the furious river of life Running through you The cruel river of history is rolling into your chest
Why did you believe in god? There is no heaven to thank Why did you believe in America? There's just a mouth of fire to kiss
I'm not taking my guns to town Dad, I don't have chains around my feet again Just a four coins Jesus icon in my pocket And ticket for a place I'll never know
The anger of America bleeds from your hands The faith of America sleeps in your chest No revenge, no blessing
