Written by Matt Hudson

lyrics

Well I watched you walkin', hanging your head like a dog
the people moved away like they could smell the bad in your blood
let me tell you, we share the same heart pumping the same dark blood
but mine is hidden beneath a suit and a freshly pressed shirt.

Don't you ever think that whats right could be wrong
any man who is righteous can right his own wrongs and be a man
walking among dogs

Long ago I found a woman who would share my soul
she couldn't keep up with the money I made to build us up a home
so I made a gang out of people like us
who'd kill and maim for a dream that they could trust
you could throw it all away, you still gotta walk that line
anything less would mean that you were livin' a lie
you could build a home, marry a woman, have three kids to till the farm
but it all adds up to nothing if you don't know what you really are

let me count your sins, you think these ever really end?
watch the procession of people you love walk like a line of ants under your thumb

If you know your place you can navigate straight through the fog
no Calamity Kate can chain you up by any code of law
I can guarantee your pay, I can make you much more than a dog
you'll be a righteous arrow wrought from the very hands of God.

Walk with me, watch me kill a man
quick in procedure, don't question demand only quell the passion where it stands

Ohh so lonely
Ohh so lonely
Ohh you remind me of the dark.

Ohh so lonely
Ohh so lonely
Ohh you think you know what you really are?
