You tried to run
you tried to hide
stay out of sight and mind
You were a lowly pauper’s son to us
when you call the kettle black
and take it back
No restitution could erase
the past that you stole
catch the thief
He’s just the mercenary I’d like to meet
So good to see you, where should we begin?
I heard you calling
and we’ll never be the same
I’m sure you get this one all the time
An empty heart inside a chest
You only get what you’ve been sold down river
it’s all you told me
Say, you there
I’d spare a penny for your thoughts on
all this rain and bloody hell
Sharpen your axes
Turn your lanterns homeward
you commit the crime
and do no time
No restitution could erase
the past that you stole
Catch the thief
He’s just the mercenary I’d like to meet
Say you there
I’d spare a penny for your thoughts on all this rain and bloody hell
We’re all content to hold out hope
but where are we supposed to go
We’re all content to hold out hope
but where do we go?
(I’m not talking bout a Beatles song
Written a hundred years before I was born)
