Blues Traveler - Ivory Tusk Lyrics
Music: chan kinchlaLyrics: john popperIvory tusk, smash into thine ownTo show thee fit to continueI weep for them and I weep for meWe rally to charge to dieAnd laugh when its throughWell rise and walk now youre a manDont try to play catch me if you canJust do as youre told son you must abideHave you gone crazy it never was a free rideJust take yo medicine and help it go downDo as youre told boy no need to frownYou know it happened to me and your granddad tooNot a goddamn any one can doWell sir I dont know but I hear them sayIf theres no free ride then ride awayAnd it could be me, and it could be strangeBut keep hearing voices singing comes a changeBlood drop spill unto the parched earthAnd nourish that which is hungryFeast well avenging madnessThen call your buzzards down to clean the carcassWell your lifes not yours its everyonesSo do the right thing and go for your gunsIts how the world was saved and how the west was wonSo here he comes now you gotta stand or runJust level your iron boy and sight him inYou aint out to die boyYoure out to winYou know you hate him, you must know he hates youNot a goddamn anyone can doWell if my life is everyones well good thats fineBut youve yet to prove that that makes his life mineAnd it could be me and I could be strangeBut I keep hearing voices singing comes a changeLike rain and thunder washing everything awayThats what I hear them sayYou might just prefer to prayIts the same thing anywayIvory tusk, smash into thine ownTo show thee fit to continueI weep for them and I weep for meWe rally to charge to dieAnd laugh when its throughWell sir I dont know but I hear them sayIf there is no free ride then ride awayAnd it could be me, and it could be strangeBut keep hearing voices singing comes a changeLike rain and thunder washing everything awayThats what I hear them sayYou might just prefer to prayLike rain and thunder washing everything awayThats what I hear them sayYou might just prefer to pray
