Polk county Minnesota where the story begins Window is broken now a pistol missing Red run out of that painting house Black smoke rising now burn it to the ground The things he saw when he was a boy Made him sharpen his knife on the innocent Now the Shadows in that box car planted an evil seed Hollow tree we're gunna cut you down Say I wish the world had one neck Wish my hands were around it Oh no I wish the world had one neck Wish my hands were around it Leavenworth Kansas 1930 End of the road for Panzaram Say I kill ten men in the time it takes to kill me Spit in my face now bury me in gasoline Oh no I wish the world had one neck Wish my hands were around it Oh no I wish the world had one neck Wish my hands were around it
