Verse

Bought the old farmland for a song

Sold it for many reasons

Too many of them wrong

Horseshoe bets and the women that came along

Blind-drunk on their demon rum

Verse

Is knowledge a product of his loneliness

A mad cousin to his holiness

Maniacs in cages

And patriots and sages

A cruel old/on telling of the books

Refrain

But I'll not give

Myself, to the ground

I kill more than I

Live so slowly

Live so slowly

Bridge

Verse

Say one thing and then do another

Bunker down in your alsatian den

We 'aint got room for your politics here

Politicians make a bad name for the con-man

Verse

And water felt like burning metal

Set off by a dying sun

Them women they circle

Like covered wagons crying

Their loved ones back from where they, gone

Refrain

And I'll not give

Myself to the ground

I kill more than I

Live so slowly

Live so slowly
