The Bootleg Saint |
Come make your complaint to the Bootleg Saint |
He’s been gone, keepin' on, keepin' on for your freedom |
Black boots, brown skin he has chemical roots |
He’s taking back the city one sinner at a time |
He’ll sacrifice if you pay the price |
He remembers a time when everything was alright |
We had water from wine, the streets were alive |
Then old Captain Industry who sold his soul at Wounded Knee |
Bought himself a little property |
The Saint had found his enemy |
He’ll sacrifice if you pay the price |
The laws might sleep, but they never die |
Lions for sheep — an eye for an eye |
He wears a ring with the brand of a three-legged dog |
His rose-coloured glasses cut through the fog |
The laws might sleep but they never die |
Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye |
He came down on a storm cloud hard as the Amazon rain |
Took him on, took him on and on |
And you can pay your respects in the form of a cheque |
He’s taking back the city one sinner at a time |
He’ll sacrifice if you pay the price |
The laws might sleep but they never die |
Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye |
The Bootleg Saint, well he walks the line |
Between an everyman hero and a waste of time |
