chuck yourself a loan, get yourself a new home, stay here for a lifetime
football teams, for them I do cheer, never shall I ever leave here
wrap my skin in the flags I was born in, dear God I do hope I die here
cover me in dirt, on the tombstone you wrote, here lies a man
served his country, served the man, payed his taxes like a man
and when I die bury my sin deep inside so the people may come and cry.
On the news today I saw a man who had lost his way
they cut him down, extracted his sin, in a modern day crucifixion
they buried him and on the tombstone they wrote, here lies no man
never served his country, never bowed to the man, never payed his taxes like a man
and when he died they hung his sins out to dry, nobody came to cry
Guns ablaze, in a New York haze, as you lie in a pool of blood in the hotel patio
Dream you shall not, get or else get shot, for the dreams you dared to spoke
I hear the grass is greener here, who would want to be anywhere else
listen to the songs on the radio, don't stray too far from home
or when they come to cover you in dirt, on your tombstone it will be wrote
when he died, his sins were bestowed, mattered not where do they go
he sung, he spoke, and the truth he tried to evoke
some cried, some laughed, but in the end all were left in divide
and that's just the way it goes if you want to rock the boat
The king he pranced, as he layed his glance on the heads that he feels should roll today
the joker joker laughed and he dropped is pants on a dance he called tyranny
they chopped his head and away it fled is a comical kind of way
they dared to laugh if they knew that path that lied in their destiny
and on his rainbow flower tombstone it read here lays a man
he danced he laughed to not particular path and now his head rolls far far away
And that's that'sust the way it goes if you ever rock the boat
you stray to far from the chosen path and you too will have you day
you better run run run real fast, never look back from where you came
and if your rowboat gets across the river pass to destiny
you better hope no one knows or Charlie Mansons on the way
