Take The Heartland |
| I’m gonna hide my heart behind the peacock’s fan, |
| And keep my friends real close, yeah, this is how it’s gonna go. |
| I’m gonna find my knife and run it through those stitches, |
| Throw my friends down in the ditches before they even know |
| what I’ve come here for. |
| Take the Heartland with a sense of revenge |
| Take the Heartland and make it look easy |
| Take the Heartland- you’ll die in the end |
| Take the Heartland |
| I’m gonna grow my hair down to my face like a Fidel Castro; |
| like a Che Guevara or a Fidel Castro |
| And I’m gonna grant my folk my life’s one last wish |
| and I’m gonna take their life with a knife |
| and I’m gonna sit and wait, not fall |
| Take the Heartland with a sense of revenge |
| Take the Heartland and make it look easy |
| Take the Heartland- we’ll die in the end |
| Take the Heartland |
| Should I kill you with my sword, yeah? |
| Or should I kill you with this word? |
| You say sit, you say stand, |
| you say stop, you say go, |
| You say sit, you say stop, |
| You say what, you say no, |
| You say go, you say sit, |
| You say stand, you say stop, |
| You say go, you say sit, |
| And you sit and you watch us all. |
| Should I kill you with my sword, yeah? |
| Or should I kill you with this word? |
| Take the Heartland |
| Take the Heartland — your sense of revenge |
| Take the Heartland — you make it look easy |
| Take the Heartland |
| I set myself by the west, by the watch, by the wall, |
| I set myself by the wish, by the watch, by the wall, |
| I set myself by the words, by the watch, by the wall, |
| I set myself by the words, by the voice that I heard. |
