about

Notes: The lyrics came from an attempt to collaborate with The Junks. They had this track with this killer guitar solo (Son of a Lesbian), and so I wrote this song to go with it. But they didn't like it so much, so I recorded it on my own.

The little re-jam takes the place of the guitar solo.

lyrics

Ghosts in the graveyard
Home (home) on the range
Do you think you love me?
Do you think me strange?
Do you want to kiss me?
Do you want to my love?
Do you want me to kneel down
And pray to the sky above?
Do you want to give me
All that you’ve earned?
And do you want this feeling
Slowly to burn?
Do you want to give in?
Do you want to take revenge?
Or do you need the raping
To come to an end?
Ghosts in the graveyard
Home (home) of the brave
You aint free when you
Someone’s slave
Do you want to hate me?
Do you want my love?
Do they want me to kneel down
Suck and pray to him up above?

They want what the stories
Told in their booth
You take it in his name
You can’t have the truth

Go. Cancer get out
Get out!
Go Get out!
Get the fuck out!
GET OUT!!
