Dead Men Walking

Is this a joke? Do you know what you're talking about?
Don't you see all the dead men are walking out the door?

How much more do you need from me and my people?
We took to the streets when you took to the steeple

I've ceased to believe that you have my back
You can say what you will
But I know for fact it's a lie

Just let it go down
Hold the line and count your blessings
All this time we're wasting we're wasting on you

Won't you step in my shoes and see through eyes?
I am still on the move
I'm not ready to die for the cause

What it is that you doI could never quite tell
If you're speaking the truth you are not speaking it well

I've seen the gate and the garden the jail and the ghost
Are you the gate or the warden the guest or the host of this party?

See, I sat with a womanI talked with a guy
They said they would let me in on eternal life
But I still laugh at the future and cry for the past
And if this is a failureI hope it'll last for a while

Just let it go down hold the line and count your blessings
All this time we're wasting we're wasting on you

Just let it go down take a hit learn a lesson
Don't know but I'm guessing you're doing alright

If it feels like you've been lied to you probably have
Oh, if you feel like you are dying you're probably alive

Just let it go down hold the line and count your blessings
Precious time we're wasting we're wasting on you

Just let it go down take a hit learn a lesson
Don't know but I'm guessing you're doing alright
