| Yo. |
| I just got back from the war, and I brought bad news back from the front
|
| line/
|
| The force that we face is enormous, and even if we double up on 'em,
|
| it’ll be a hard time/
|
| They got more guns than I ever would have thought. |
| More soldiers than I ever
|
| would have brought/
|
| Even if I thought that we could accomplish, and now they got to the very top
|
| but the men in our line,/
|
| One by one, I watched them fall, they gave into the weapons and they answered
|
| the call/
|
| The money and the guns, the women and the fame, too much for 'em,
|
| and they couldn’t be contained/
|
| It was sad and it would have driven many mad and they would gotten a hold of me
|
| hadn’t they had a bad aim/
|
| But they shot and they missed and I dropped and I dipped and I came back home
|
| back I came/
|
| And this is the message I fought my way back here to tell/
|
| And if you rather me not, you can go to hell/
|
| They only want you for your dollars and your pounds/
|
| And if you want to know the rest, then follow me on down/
|
| I know you’re somewhere waiting, somewhere out there now, follow me down
|
| I know you’re somewhere waiting, somewhere out there now, follow me down
|
| For days, I’ve trekked, till' I ran out of breath
|
| Through the valley of the shadow of death
|
| And fought through all the hunger and pain
|
| But the hunger for fame, is more than anybody could withstand
|
| A blunder it became, So I took into consideration everything I’ve learned
|
| Sacred scrolls told us that our village shall be burned
|
| Anyone who’s different shall be burned at the stake
|
| With the scavengers circling the remains of the greats
|
| We knew from the beginning that the battle would be lost
|
| When evil’s synonymous with a man of the cloth
|
| The damage they caused, only half of the loss
|
| The other half being that their grasp on the thoughts
|
| From the minds of our youth, with decline of the truth
|
| Makes it nearly impossible when it’s time to recruit
|
| So we’re waging a war. |
| You’ll be safe on the shore
|
| Showing individuality, we’ll take you aboard
|
| In a battle not only for preservation of an ancient art
|
| Those who were taken and were forced to have a change of heart
|
| Forced to praise the charts. |
| Temptation plays the biggest part
|
| Get the women and the money just to make a farce
|
| What say you? |
| This is a war of betrayal. |
| It’s a tab bit too late for apologies
|
| now
|
| So you can wallow in sorrow, or just swallow your pride. |
| Lace up your boots and
|
| come follow me down |
