Buddy Brown - If This Country Still Had Balls lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Strange man walks in holdin' his gun

He kills somebody and he's on the run

Out the door and into the busy streets

The cops chase him round town for an hour or two

Go back home, he's on the evening news, they tell us it's alright

We've got him in custody

Well, maybe it's me, but I'm scratchin' my head

Wonderin' why that s.o.b. ain't dead

When everyone knows it's him, why should we wait?

(Chorus)

It's time we go back to hangin' em high

Let's light the torches in the middle of the night

Somewhere along the way we've gotten way too soft

We don't need a jury when we've seen what he's done

Just build the gallows and wait for the sun

Get the vigilantes loaded up, with justice for all

If this country still had balls

(Verse 2)

My tax money pays for nice hot meals

For a killer locked up making more appeals

So he can get right back out and do it all again

Now, I ain't sayin' that a man can't change

But you can't tell right from wrong these days

Unless we send a message they won't forget

(Chorus)

It's time we go back to hangin' em high

Let's light the torches in the middle of the night

Somewhere along the way we've gotten way too soft

We don't need a jury when we've seen what he's done

Just build the gallows and wait for the sun

Get the vigilantes loaded up, with justice for all

If this country still had balls
