Lawman (​О​й​с​я​)

And he woke up one morning
And saw the city was a dream
Everything was burning
And he resolved to be free of it
To save his soul and body

Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I've got a pint and M16
I'm headed for the country
Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I'm just leaving the city
I'm headed for the county

I worked in the city
Moving numbers on a screen
I sat at a desk eight hours a day
Under fluorescent lighting
I was barely making pennies
I found a job on a ranch in town
To try and feel my body
Until the land was bought out by some
Investors from Silicon Valley

Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I've got a pint and M16
I'm headed for the country
Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I'm just leaving the city
I'm headed for the county

I took a boat down the Mississippi
Hauling cargo in the evenings
I met a girl but she ghosted me
When she heard I had no money
So I started a savings and a 401k
I was looking for a house on the bay
I think I could make a living wage
If my paycheck wasn't half my pay

Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I've got a pint and M16
I'm headed for the country
Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I'm just leaving the city
I'm headed for the county

I worked long hours and I made my way
Things started to finally look my way
That was all until the day
The government came through my doorway
They said "Real heroes will sacrifice
They have no regard for their own life
Now get in the car we're shipping you away
To fight and die in Ukraine"

Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I've got a pint and M16
I'm headed for the country
Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I'm just leaving the city
I'm headed for the county

And he woke up one morning
And the sun was glowing
Everything was burning
And he bowed and prayed
Thanking God for judgement day

Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I've got a pint and M16
I'm headed for the country
Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I'm just leaving the city
I'm headed for the county

Cause over the bodies of children
The Cossacks will come charging in
When you least expect it
When you least expect it

Lawman, lawman
You don't need to worry
I've got a pint and M16
I'm headed for the country
