Someone’s been bleeding us
\na young man wake up each day old and tired
\nI got my gun and my silver bullets
\ngonna get me a government vampire<\/p>\n
Hanging on the chain link fence
\ngot my silver cross my Smith & Wesson .38
\nBut when they turn on the juice
\nI’m crucified on the electric gate<\/p>\n
If this is real life
\nI guess I’ll get used to it
\nI’ll be all right as
\nsoon as I get over these electro-convulsive fits<\/p>\n
Shackled in my place
\ninside rthe federal courtroom dock
\nStaring at your face
\nfloating in the witness box<\/p>\n
You’re looking right through me
\njust like you never heard my name
\nbut you used to lay right next to me
\nin our little hideout by the lake<\/p>\n
If this is real life
\nI suggest you get used to it
\nYou’ll be all right
\nas soon as you find a heart to fit that hole in your chest<\/p>\n
Governmewnt witness
\nwho would have dreamed you’d be a government witness
\nGovernment witness
\ngo ahead–deny you are a government witness<\/p>\n
You must have lied to me then
\nWhy can’t you lie to them now
\nWill you be lying to yourself
\nwhile I sweat it out in the death house — death house<\/p>\n
This is real life . . .<\/p>\n
