歌曲歌詞
Well Iwas grinding my life out steady and sure
Nothing more wretched than what I must endure
Iwas 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
Iaml 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
Iwas circlin around the Southern Zone
I pay in blood but not my own
Low cards are what I ve got
But Iaml play this hand whether I like it or not
Iwas 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 rowdy men
Just like you my handsome friend
My head so hard must be made of stone
I pay in blood but not my own
Another politician pumpin' out the piss
Another angry beggar blowin' you a kiss
You got the same eyes that your mother does
If only you could prove who your father was
Someone must've slipped a drug in your wine
You gulped it down and you crossed the line
Man can 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 Iwas suppose to respect you
Iaml give you justice Iaml fatten your purse
Show me your moral virtues
Hear me holler and hear me moan
I pay in blood but not my own
You pet your lover in the bed
Come here Iaml 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 my days
I came to bury not to praise
Iaml drink my fill and sleep alone
I play in blood but not my own
