In these times that are changing
It's best that we play to our strengths
And the place that we're leaving
It won't hesitate to pull you away
Oh be quick with the trigger
We can't rick getting caught in the place
They are the doubt I'm the believer
I'll make sure they never forget this face
Downtrodden, cast out and over looked
We gave them everything from us they took
And oh you oughta know by know
This is the only acceptable way we can live
And we won't consent to a life
That is ruled by the flash of the knife
To all the others I wish you well
And bye bye, baby doll I'll see you in hell
Is this fate or is it fever
That's pushed me over the edge?
They'll label me deceiver
When the truth is the only thing to which I pledge
Oh and this hole that I'm digging alone
I'll be damned if I make it my grave
What is the price of a criminal's soul
If not the same as the one with his hands on the sword?
And oh you oughta know by know
This is the only acceptable way we can live
And we won't consent to a life
That is ruled by the flash of the knife
To all the others I wish you well
And bye bye, baby doll I'll see you in hell
Oh they're choking on the dust and rocks I kick up as I run
Oh you know I'll never return I've claimed my role as the prodigal son
I hear the clock strike the hour
It's high time that we be on our way
I hear them calling me a coward
Because my only resort was running away
But they will never know the difference
They all live and die in this place
Leaving and fleeing aren't one in the same
They'll never understand, I'll always be a disgrace
And oh you oughta know by know
This is the only acceptable way we can live
And we won't consent to a life
That is ruled by the flash of the knife
To all the others I wish you well
And bye bye, baby doll I'll see you in hell
