[Verse 1]

I'm gonna fight 'em off

A seven nation army couldn't hold me back

They're gonna rip it off

Takin' their time right behind my back

And I'm talkin' to myself at night because I can't forget

Back and forth through my mind, behind a cigarette

[Pre-Chorus]

And the message comin' from my eyes says, "Leave it alone"

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Don't want to hear about it

Every single one's got a story to tell

Everyone knows about it

From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell

And if I catch it comin' back my way, I'm gonna serve it to you

And that ain't what you want to hear, but that's what I'll do

[Pre-Chorus]

And the feelin' comin' from my bones says, "Find a home"

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I'm goin' to Wichita

Far from this opera forevermore

I'm gonna work the straw

Make the sweat drip out of every pore

And I'm bleedin' and I'm bleedin' and I'm bleedin' right before the Lord

All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think no more

[Pre-Chorus]

And the stains comin' from my blood tell me, "Go back home"

[Instrumental Chorus]
