You took him tired eyed and lonesome
To the place you live your life
Without a thought you're spitting bullets
In a young and caring mind
And if you want to let it burn
Then I'll sit here and watch the fire
And if you need it, I'll hold your head up
Till' the time that we have expires
But if you ever lay a finger or lead him to the poison well
I'll hold you under till' you're drowning in the bullshit you tell yourself
