You saddled up your horses And loaded up your guns You promised all those wayward souls First place in a race they'd never run You stormed into the city With an army at your back Chanting your last name You gave the signal for attack You can run your mouth but you can't outrun it You can steal a crown, don't mean you've won it You can lie in circles like a snake eating its tail The truth may bend but it won't break and it'll never be for sale You tore down all the buildings The ones built just before You came into town And began this unholy war You commandeered their voices Said it was for their sake "I'm the one who's sent to you To make this country great"
