SAM ROBERTS lyrics : "the bootleg saint"

Come make your complaint to Bootleg Saint

(He's been gone, keepin' on, keepin' on for your freedom)


Black boots, brown skin, he's chemical roots


He's taking back the city one sinner at a time




He'll sacrifice if you pay the price




He remembers a time when everything was alright


We had water from wine, the streets were alive


Then old Captain Industry, who sold his soul at Wounded Knee

Bought himself a little property, the Saint had found his enemy





He'll sacrifice if you pay the price




The laws might sleep but they never die


Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye

He wears a ring with the brand of a three-legged dog





His rose-colored glasses cut through the fog

The laws might sleep but they never die


Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye




He came down on a storm cloud, hard as the Amazon rain


(Took him on, took him on and on)


And you can pay your respects in the form of a check

He's taking back the city one sinner at a time





He'll sacrifice if you pay the price




The laws might sleep but they never die


Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye

The Bootleg Saint, well, he walks the line


Between an everyman hero and a waste of time
