I felt my undertaker carry me away He didn’t ask my name He wanted it that way
He drove me through the town For everyone to see The frailty of my casket How easy it can be
He drove me to the race track With my last 5 bucks Last chance to make it rich Last chance for good luck
Police chief lit a smoke And passed it around The people smoked it one by one As they put me in the ground As they put me in the ground
It was in the Sunday paper They announced that I was dead It didn’t mean that much This is what it said: “He was a drifter, he wasn’t real He thought he had it made – A victim of ideals He was a mishap – image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif
Bad apple from the tree A glitch in our good fortune
A burden on you & me He didn’t do his part He didn’t understand He foolishly believed That the power was in his hands The power is in his hands\"
Oh throw me to the rats Those scathing new age brats The blinking eyes of alley cats Watch me sink from where I sat
As crooked waving handmade guns Rob us of our only sons The fight worth leaving turns & runs As something better slowly comes
It won’t be long Before they hear our song Before we stretch out wide & strong And swallow up the here & gone
