Lightning Paul

I stone your preachers and your Palestine laws I burn your temples and your makeshift gods Let's go, let's go and mess up this town Tear buildings to the parched ground Wait now hold on a minute I've got something to say I tortured peasants in my cut-throat days And murdered men on this grief-stricken land Take me by your strong hand And when the people are dragging you down You keep on laughing as they kick you around Who, who do you say I am I say you're Lightning Paul The ballad of a haunted man Hard sell seduction only gets in my way I've got a method that I know won't fail And don't defend those that don't understand No, string 'em up and let 'em hang Wait now hold on a minute I've got something to say I beg forgiveness for my cut-throat days And I'm kissed off with the state that I'm in So give me all that faith brings And when the people are dragging you down You keep on laughing as they kick you around Who, who do you say I am I say you're Lightning Paul The ballad of a haunted man
