The Bloody Dotted Line |
I used to dream in color and I wished away the days |
Waiting on the slightest chance that I would get to play |
A guilded harp, a silver horn with a bonny tune to sing |
A place inside a golden hall to prance around the king |
When I was young I wished to be |
Up to my neck in a fantasy |
Why did I sign on that bloody dotted line? |
Let the devils hold it over me |
Is it a crime to live when you cannot afford the means? |
Is it a crime to walk the earth like ravenous machines? |
Is there a way to bridge a gap across a great divide? |
Is it a secret thrill to know the gods are on your side? |
When I was young I wished to be |
A landed man with a back forty |
Why did I sign on that bloody dotted line? |
Let the devils hold it over me |
The smoke still clouds my wits |
The stink still fills my pores |
From the night they kicked down the door |
The blood still stains my lips |
The grief still chafes my soul |
My pride was raked through the coals |
Yonder prison walls |
They own my flesh and bones |
But my thoughts are mine alone |
