lyrics

WON'T YOU TAKE MY HAND
I'LL TAKE YOU TO
A PLACE WHERE BIRDS ARE SINGING
AND THE SKY IS BLUE
AND I PROMISE THAT I WILL TAKE
REAL GOOD CARE OF YOU
HE SAID THE WORLD OUT THERE'S A SCARY PLACE
FULL OF DIRTY SINNERS AND A HUMAN RACE
THAT'S PROBABLY ALREADY DUG ITSELF
HALFWAY TO HELL

AND THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT I ASK
IT'S THAT YOU PROMISE ME NOT TO TELL
THAT I HAVE ALREADY DUG ALL OF US
HALFWAY THERE AS WELL
AND NOW YOU'RE SAYING I'M A THORN IN YOUR SIDE
BUT TRY NOT TO FORGET
THAT I CAN SEE YOUR BODY SHAKIN
AT THE END OF MY BAYONET

EXCUSE ME SIR
YOU PROMISED ME
A PLACE TO BUILD A HOME FOR MY FAMILY
AND NOW I'M FEARING FOR ALL OF OUR SAFETY
UNFORTUNATELY
HE SAID DON'T TRUST NOBODY
JUST TRUST IN ME
AND I WILL FILL YOUR CUP
WHEN YOU GET THIRSTY
BUT I WILL CUT YOU LIKE A SWORD
IF YOU TRY TO HIDE
AND I COULD TELL BY THE LOOK IN HIS EYE
WE'RE NOT COMING OUT ALIVE
AND I'LL BE LUCKY IF I GET TO SEE
ANOTHER SUNRISE
AND NOW HE'S TELLIN US IT'S TIME TO GO
COME ON
DRINK UP

MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?

DON'T TURN AROUND
I GOT YOUR LETTER LAST NIGHT
I CAME TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM THIS PLACE
WE'VE GOTTA RUN
THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND US NOW
AND WHO THEY ARE
I STILL DON'T KNOW

BUT I DON'T THINK THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS
