Well I'm grinding my?
life out steady and sure
Nothing more wretched
than what I must endure
I'm drenched in the
light that shines from?
the sun
I could stone you to?
death for the wrongs?
that you done
Sooner or later you
make a mistake
I'll put you in a chain
that you never will break
Legs and arms and body?
and bone
I pay in blood but not?
my own
Night after night Day
after day
They strip your useless?
hopes away
The more I take the
more I give
The more I die the
more I live
I got something in my?
pocket make your?
eyeballs swim
I got dogs could tear
you limb from limb
I'm circlin' around the?
Southern Zone
I pay in blood but not?
my own
Low cards are what
I've got
But I'll play this hand?
whether I like it or not
I'm sworn to uphold?
the laws of God
You could put me out?
in front of a firing?
squad
I've been out and
around with the
rising men
Just like you my
handsome friend
My head's so hard
must be made of stone
I pay in blood but not
my own
Another politician?
pumping out the piss
another angry beggar
blowing you a kiss
you got the same eyes
that your mother does
if only you could prove?
who your father was
someone must of?
slipped a drug in?
yer wine
you gulped it down?
and you cross the line
man can't live by
bread alone
I pay in blood but?
not my own
How I made it back?
home nobody knows
or how I survived so?
many blows
I've been thru Hell
What good did it do
You bastard I'm?
suppose to
respect you
I'll give you justice
I'll fattem your purse
Show me your moral
that you reversed
Hear me holler and
hear me moan
I pay in blood but?
not my own
You get your lover
in the bed
Come here I'll break?
your lousy head
Our nation must be
saved and freed
You've been accused?
of murder how do
you plead
This is how I spend?
