Lightning Paul
I stone your preachers and your Palestine laws
I burn your temples and your makeshift gods
Let's go, let's go and mess up this town
Tear buildings to the parched ground
Wait now hold on a minute
I've got something to say
I tortured peasants in my cut-throat days
And murdered men on this grief-stricken land
Take me by your strong hand
And when the people are dragging you down
You keep on laughing as they kick you around
Who, who do you say I am
I say you're Lightning Paul
The ballad of a haunted man
Hard sell seduction only gets in my way
I've got a method that I know won't fail
And don't defend those that don't understand
No, string 'em up and let 'em hang
Wait now hold on a minute
I've got something to say
I beg forgiveness for my cut-throat days
And I'm kissed off with the state that I'm in
So give me all that faith brings
And when the people are dragging you down
You keep on laughing as they kick you around
Who, who do you say I am
I say you're Lightning Paul
The ballad of a haunted man
I burn your temples and your makeshift gods
Let's go, let's go and mess up this town
Tear buildings to the parched ground
Wait now hold on a minute
I've got something to say
I tortured peasants in my cut-throat days
And murdered men on this grief-stricken land
Take me by your strong hand
And when the people are dragging you down
You keep on laughing as they kick you around
Who, who do you say I am
I say you're Lightning Paul
The ballad of a haunted man
Hard sell seduction only gets in my way
I've got a method that I know won't fail
And don't defend those that don't understand
No, string 'em up and let 'em hang
Wait now hold on a minute
I've got something to say
I beg forgiveness for my cut-throat days
And I'm kissed off with the state that I'm in
So give me all that faith brings
And when the people are dragging you down
You keep on laughing as they kick you around
Who, who do you say I am
I say you're Lightning Paul
The ballad of a haunted man
