The Chosen Ones |
| I heard how all the lights went out in Memphis |
| On the death night anniversary of the king |
| The pretenders talking dirty in the palace |
| But it doesn’t have that old familiar ring |
| I see there’s been some changes in the valley |
| All the renegades have finally settled down |
| Now they worship in the temples of their rivals |
| And desecrate the holy heart of town |
| Can’t you hear all those sweet voices singing |
| Takin' care of the chosen ones |
| Can’t you hear all those mission bells ringin' |
| Say a prayer for the chosen ones |
| I read they’re pourin' oil on troubled waters |
| Yet they cast a giant shadow on the land |
| Let’s spend another night across the border |
| And bury all our secrets in the sand |
| Now they claim there is a message in the Bible |
| They swear there is no master and his slave |
| But the future’s lookin' dim for the lonesome cowboy |
| When the hand that rocks that cradle digs the grave |
