Lyrics

Dead saint on my necklace Whiskey in my hand Razor in my pocket Baby, I'm your man I signed up to play and then it hit me Got a nice leather jacket but it don't quite fit me I welcomed back all those who quit me But I'm leavin' tonight before they come and get me Righteous men and scoundrels Banded together to stop The Four They burned witches, they pounded nails Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales Slow resistance, I have seen it Yeah, I said that too but I didn't mean it The word is war, you did not dream it You made the mess but I'm gonna clean it Righteous men and scoundrels Banded together to stop The Four They burned witches, they pounded nails Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales Jaw teeth as knives to snatch the greedy And plead the cause of the poor and needy Been savin' up to finally purchase The courage to harm those who deserve it Righteous men and scoundrels Banded together to stop The Four They burned witches, they pounded nails Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales I'm not there yet but I'm gettin' close I eat gravel at the side of the road I smell of blood and kerosene What's rarely done is rarely seen.
