Mama take thisbadge from me
I can't use it anymore 
It's getting dark too dark to see 
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door 

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 

Mama put my guns in the ground 
I can't shoot them anymore 
That cold black cloud [bad word]  down 
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door 

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 

"YOU JUST BETTER START SNIFFIN' YOUR OWN RANK SUBJUGATION 
JACK 'CAUSE IT'S JUST YOU AGAINST YOUR TATTERED LIBIDO, THE 
BANK AND THE MORTICIAN, FOREVER MAN AND IT WOULDN'T BE 
LUCK IF YOU COULD GET OUT OF LIFE ALIVE" 

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
