| Head down, short stuff. |
| Paint your body like it’s raw.
|
| Red thirst, black earth. |
| They’re saying there’s blood in the river,
|
| And they’re asking for more.
|
| All in, all out, that’s the way they bring you down.
|
| My baby cries, she’s melting like ice in the summer; |
| and I’m going to war.
|
| A change in the way he’s holding all your dice
|
| Hail to the wolves, and all the bad things in your life.
|
| All aboard for the morning rush; |
| maybe we can make it through the day.
|
| But I hardly ever act my age, but I hardly ever act my age.
|
| Across the river I’m hardly yawning, the boat man says «no way»,
|
| Cause we hardly ever act our age, cause I hardly ever act my age
|
| Cause we hardly ever act our age, cause I hardly ever act my age
|
| Waste all my days composing my good byes
|
| Hail to the wolves and all the bad things in your life,
|
| all the bad things in your life,
|
| love all the bad things in your life.
|
| My name is Old James, and I’ve got a pocket full of love.
|
| That’s the way they bring you down. |
