[Verse 1]
I'm gonna fight 'em off
Seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Takin' their time right behind my back
And I'm talkin' to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette

[Pre-Chorus]
And the message comin' from my eyes
Says, "Leave it alone"

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Don't wanna hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna sell it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do

[Pre-Chorus]
And the feeling's comin' from my bones
It says, "Find a home"

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I'm goin' to Wichita
Far from this opera for forevermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more

[Outro]
And the stains comin' from my blood
It tells me, "Go back home"
"Go back home"
