Save me from the cowboys

who circle round the posse

to rope us in and keep us in

their own sacred world

Save me from the tigers

who prowl under the streetlights

so far from home, so all alone

and lost in their souls

Don’t you ever wonder who to believe in?

Don’t you ever question what you know?

Or where to go?

Or when to say no?

Save me from the mighty

that tell me how to live my life

They feed my fears, wipe my tears

and keep me in chains

Save me from the righteous

who bleed without a sound

It’s not their blood that’s shed

that keeps the people down

Don’t you ever wonder who to believe in?

Don’t you ever question what you know?

Or where to go?

Or when to say no?

Save me from the cowboys

and all their pretty horses
