The Hanging

[Verse 1]

We don't know what we're thinking

You wanna see us cry

Shouting at the change

Before we catch on fire

Haemorrhaging history

Bleeding from the nose

Calling out the century before the ice done froze

[Verse 2]

Riding in on horseback

Firing off the shots

Pretending to be cavalry

Which we were not

Bring me to the hangman

Drop me down the hole

I won't be making excuses like I did before

[Verse 3]

The cart fills up the sidewalk

The horse is in the barn

Shouting through the morning mist

Setting off the alarm

If they'd never given thought

To giving up

First they'd have to realize – enough's enough

First they'd have to realize – enough's enough

[Verse 4]

Sheriff's got his gold star

Man has got his chain

Neither one is ready

To go through that again

If they'd never thought

To giving up

Made up their minds for them – enough's enough

We made up their minds for them – enough's enough
