So under this tree Far away from church and state it's just you and me There's no need to watch our backs we'll just simply be Kiss me, Honey, sweetly with our eyes closed Words like a knife Cut my father's throat and he is seething in spite Threatenin' my poor mother so she kneels every night To a prized God divided in the fight O' sweet thing, bombs away! And I'll say To you I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you I bleed So string up my girl Deviant and faithless and a bane to your world Malintent with ignorance it's all so absurd Worthless and you're worth it all the same (the same...) I starve in my cell Man is bound in shackles between heaven and hell Whether it's worth dying for is too soon to tell Bloody mouthed and screaming out a name (a name, a name...) O' sweet thing, bombs away! And I'll say To you I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you I bleed, but every drop was such and waste and O' sweet thing, bombs away! And I'll say To you I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you I bleed There was nothing left when you bred contempt In a **** town turning your acts into killers So far gone Oh Holy Father, I bit my tongue But Your good word's turning your saints into sinners So far gone, oh So under this tree We grew roots and branches kept a hope that our leaves They will turn through seasons and then fall to the feet Of the children that came after us in Spring (in Spring...) O' sweet thing, bombs away! And I'll say To you I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you I bleed, though every drop was such a waste and O' sweet thing, bombs away! And I'll say To you I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you I bleed So under this tree Far away from church and state it's just you and me There's no need to watch our backs we'll just simply be Kiss me, Honey, sweetly with our eyes closed
