Underground

Somewhere in the underground
There’s a place I can be found
That’s the place you’re gonna look for me
Turn left and face the wall
It’s a place inside us all
Somewhere that no one else can see

Shout, let it out, kick it back in their faces
Scream, let me dream, do the same for me

Shout, let it out, spit it back in their faces
Scream, let me dream, do the same for me

Just one of those things that comes to me from time to time.

I knew that you had done the deed when I first saw your face
I knew that either you or I would die before we left that place
My brother was a happy man, and never meant no harm
But trouble always lead him, and he’d just tag along

Mmm, mmm, mmm

He’d always laughed at danger, he never showed no fear
I bet that he laughed at you when you stuck that pistol in his ear
He knew he had it coming, he didn’t want to go
I bet he told you to be ready when his brother showed

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Well I’m his younger brother, my demeanor’s not so light
I’ve got a pistol in my left hand and another in my right
The Lord has claimed that vengeance belongs to only him
But he uses men like me to mete out the payment cold and grim

No there is nothing pretty about the way you cry
Begging for just one more day, cause you don’t want to die
Every man is mortal, now listen up, my friend
You cut down my big brother, it’s time you meet your end

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Any man who lifts his hand to strike another down
Should have is soul prepared to see his body six feet in the ground
I sleep with one eye open, but I know the day will be
When I come against a man with hands that draw faster than me

Mmm, mmm, mmm

I knew that you had done the deed when I first saw your face
I knew that either you would die before we left that place
My brother was a happy man, and never meant no harm
But trouble always lead him, and he’d just tag along
