Tramp on the Road

Here's what I would say to all of you with a death wish

Mr. D walks beside me

As a reflection of my toothless gums, my hairless skull

I throw the gasoline on them and light it

With one quick white light flash

I woke up with the taste of metal in my mouth

And the severed arms of amputees

Taxi boys

I've been riding for so long

On the Nova Express

Take my ticket to the station

I have no address

I ain't nobody man

I'm just a tramp in the road

But I'm putting mirrors at the end of your roads

And when your children come in to me

I hang 'em from the ventilators

According to what needs to be done

I've wandered far from the sunny lands of summer

I fill my room with many colors

And flashing light

Turn my daylight into darkness

And call it night

And tell him, if he had them swords

I'd just reach and take them swords and I'd drop 'em

And throw 'em down at his feet

You dig what I'm sayin'?

And I'd tell him, "Now stand at attention when I'm talkin' to you!"

That's where it comes from, it didn't come from no fuckin' book

Stand up or I'll knock your fuckin'

Brains out, you dig what I'm sayin'?

Handcuff the son of a bitch down there

And let me just, I'll show you how I interrogate the motherfucker

You dig what I'm sayin'?

I'll interrogate you, I'll reach in your brain

And pull your fuckin' soul out and throw it on the floor

I'm tired of this bullshit

In our minds, as the youth

In our minds, as the youth

You see that spirit comin' back?

You see it comin' back?

You dig what I'm sayin'?

In other words, it's comin' back in the spirit of the youth

It's comin' back from the battlefields

It's comin' back, peace on earth

Peace on earth

And the peace on earth goes beyond that line

All my heroes are dead now
