Jack Erdie "Let Their Heads Roll" |
I'll let ya in on a secret That every scoundrel knows Whether he's perched on a pulpit Or wrapped in a flag that glows There ain't no savior to break bad behavior No great judgment day in the sky I've got the answer To corporate cancer All truth-dodgin' dancers In high places without a soul. Coz I took a poll Let their heads roll Let their heads roll Into a hole blacker than coal Thousands have died In the scapegoat chair fried For the pride of the crooks in control Let their heads roll Let their heads roll While you were working The schemers were jerking your fences down It's open season on dreamers They're posting the signs year round Let's get together And chew through the tether That ties us to their savage rules. We've got the visions. We'll make the decisions. And conquer collisions with fools Trade their abacus beads For sunflower seeds Let their heads roll. Let their heads roll. Down the long scroll Of all that they stole. There's no excuse When a man's only use Is abuse of your trust in his goal. Let their heads roll. Let their heads roll. It took a teacher To mention this feature Said �Listen, son, You're bright, With frightful intentions Much like Attila the Hun.� I couldn't blame her The sixties had tamed her That foaming rebellion that flopped British restraint Helped make Gandhi a saint Uncle Sam woulda made Gandhi cop To some terrorist rap Don't be a sap. Let their heads roll. Let their heads roll. Don't look so droll. You can use �em to bowl. Why waste your time Wavin' street corner signs When you're just gonna do what you're told? Let their heads roll. Let their heads roll. Alla the guards in the watchtowers Are now on the Judas clock All ships with angel tip prows Shipping mercenaries to dock Meanwhile your children Are shielding the buildings That shelter their very own doom Dad of the bride Don't assist suicide Save your daughter from her brutal groom With her birthright in hock And her mouth fulla sock Let their heads roll. Let their heads roll. Border patrol where your borders are sold. For what's theirs to protect They can risk their own necks Wanna war? Send the rich and the old. Let their heads roll. Let their heads roll. This is for swindled red skins Crammed in tin trailer sardine cans This is for innocent blacks Slammed In cells by the crew cut klan For those who question The sneering suggestion That we're some superior tribe And for every hemp smoker In jail for some joker Who's drunk at the country club Bragging �bout maximum time Coz he's so tough on crime! And this is for all teenage girls who Met alley abortion deaths This is for all small town boys Crucified for their choice of sex This is for project and trailer park kids Who sought hope in the service and died And for all union martyrs Who bled for the charters That gave us the rights That the rich fought so hard to deny And because they still try� Let their heads roll. Let their heads roll. Let vitriol swallow �em whole. You get your head Above waters of red They nail lead to your threadbare shoe soles Let their heads roll Let their heads roll.
