Five Iron Frenzy

Wildcat
Now you're the king of the North Dakota oil fields Redneck, leatherneck--drilling it for high yields Now you've got a Cadillac, a bulletproof windshield .38 shooting from the hip - you keep it concealed A misanthrope from a misguided father You've got a woman you may love, and a daughter There's a thousand things you wish that you had taught her But now you can't because you poisoned someone's water An you'll fade away to monochrome Runaway, you have no place to call your home Burn the oil, burn the gas Sand inside an hourglass Hero of the working class You wildcat, wildcat Burn the rubber, burn the skies Burn the world and close your eyes Hoping for the next sunrise You wildcat, wildcat You were the hero of your one-horse hometown Steel-toed, blue-collar factories were shutting down Black label bottle, burning as your liver drowned For birthdays, anniversaries, and wedding gowns The next mile and maybe they forget you? SongtexteThe next day and maybe light will break through Rear-view mirror, just a prayer they never find you Because they're coming, they swore that they would blind you Wipe your eyes Wish you were dead Your only home is where you lie your troubled head Burn the oil, burn the gas Sand inside an hourglass Hero of the working class You wildcat, wildcat Burn the rubber, burn the skies Burn the world and close your eyes Hoping for the next sunrise You wildcat, wildcat For all have fallen short in sin The wound is where the light comes in Burn the oil, burn the gas Sand inside an hourglass Hero of the working class You wildcat, wildcat Burn the rubber, burn the skies Burn the world and close your eyes Hoping for the next sunrise You wildcat, wildcat Aus Songtexte Mania
