I'm gonna fight 'em off, a seven nation army couldn't
hold me back
They're gonna rip it off, takin' their time right behind
my back
And I'm talkin' to myself at night because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette
And the message comin' from my eyes says, "leave it
alone"
Don't wanna hear about it, ev'ry single one's got a story
to tell
Ev'ryone knows about it, from the Queen of England to the
Hounds of Hell
And if I catch it comin' back my way, I'm gonna serve it
to you
And that ain't what you want to hear, but that's what
I'll do
And the feelin' comin' from my bones says, "find a home"
I'm goin' to Wichita, far from this opera for ever more
I'm gonna work the straw, make the sweat drip out of
every pore
And I'm bleedin' and I'm bleedin' and I'm bleedin' right
before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think no
more
And the stains comin' from my blood tell me, "go back
home"
