Band Of The Hand |
| Down these streets the fools rule |
| There’s no freedom or self respect |
| A knife’s point or a trip to the joint |
| Is about all you can expect |
| They kill people here who stand up for their rights |
| The system’s just too damned corrupt |
| It’s always the same, the name of the game |
| Is who do you know higher up |
| Well. |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| The blacks and the whites |
| The idiotic, the exotic |
| Wealth is a filthy rag |
| So erotic so unpatriotic |
| So wrapped up in the American flag |
| Witchcraft scum exploiting the dumb |
| Turning children into punks and slaves |
| Whose heroes and healers are rich dope dealers |
| Who should be put in their graves |
| Tell the truth now. |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| Well, lookie here, honey |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| Listen to me Mr. Pussyman |
| This might be your last night in a bed so soft |
| We’re not pimps on the make, politicians on the take |
| You can’t pay us off |
| We’re gonna blow up your home of Voodoo |
| And watch it burn without any regret |
| We got the power we’re the new government |
| You just don’t know it yet |
| Help me now. |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| Ah, bring it to me honey |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| For all of my brothers from Vietnam |
| And my uncles from World War II |
| I’d like to say that it’s countdown time now |
| And we’re gonna do what the law should do |
| And for you pretty baby |
| I know you’ve seen it all |
| I know your story is too painful to share |
| One day though you’ll be talking in your sleep |
| And when you do, I wanna be there |
| Yeah. |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| Be strong, baby |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| Won’t take long, baby |
| (Band of the hand) |
| Ah, let me tell you now |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| The war is here, honey |
| (Band of the hand) |
| Ah, go ahead now |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| Be strong, baby |
| (Band of the hand) |
| It won’t be long, honey |
| (It's Hell time, man) |
| Be strong, baby |
