hey mister with your iron feet yeah 
never waver from your path 
you think you got a way with somethin' boy 
well see his hand an' feel his staff 
hey you got a way with words alright yeah 
an' quite a way with the ladies 
your thoughts are troubled 
as you hang a left 
no there ain't no maybes 
 [bad word] an' sing me down 
give my conscience a poundin'  [bad word] an' shake my ground lord 
with the sound of heaven's houndin' 

you're thinkin' when this is all over 
we'll all sit back an' laugh 
well i don't think so friend 'cause 
i done the math 
and i ain't lookin' to gain any honor 
no, no not among you thieves 
i'll be right beside you though 
in judgement on my knees 
 [bad word] an' sing me down 
give my conscience a poundin'  [bad word] an' shake my ground lord 
with the sound of heaven's houndin'

puttin' on your poor mouth an' 
takin' from his wealth

took you down the wrong road

 [bad word] an' sing us down 
give our conscience a poundin'  [bad word] an' shake our ground lord 
with the sound of heaven's houndin' 
 [bad word] an' take our crowns lord 
give our conscience a poundin'  [bad word] an' take our crown lord 
with the sound of heaven's houndin'
