| Boys, they’ve got wicked things on their minds.
|
| Before the father said you’re toein' the line.
|
| Like a finch on Saturday, sin with wings.
|
| Give your tongue to God, on Sunday sing.
|
| It all seems fine. |
| These things are off your mind. |
| Remember we’re born to die,
|
| But she was born to cry.
|
| To cry herself to sleep.
|
| Red cowards in the home of the brave.
|
| Rather the knaves and crooks that twist the good book.
|
| Peasants, paupers, pilgrims they are the same.
|
| They give their dollars to God but they need their pay.
|
| It all seems fine. |
| These things are off your mind. |
| Remember we’re born to die,
|
| But she was born to cry.
|
| To cry herself to sleep. |
