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
So kiss me, honey, sweetly with our eyes closed
Words like a knife
Cutting my father's throat
And he is seething in spite
Threaten my poor mother so she kneels every night
To a prized God divided in the fight
ย
Oh, sweet thing, bombs away
And I will say
To you, I leave
A pox upon this awful place
And for you, I bleed
So string up my girl
A deviant, faithless, and a bane to your world
Malintent with ignorance and it's all so absurd
Worthless and you're worth it all the same, the same
Starving Marcel, man is bound in shackles
Between Heaven and Hell
Whether it's worth dying for is too soon to tell
You're bloody-mouthed and I'm screaming out her name, her name
Oh, sweet thing, bombs away
That's what 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 now, oh, sweet thing, bombs away
And I'll say
To you, I leave
A pox upon this awful place
And for you, I bleed
Oh, but there was nothing left
When we bred contempt in this shit town
Turning rats into killers, killers
Holy Father, I bit my tongue
But your good words turn your saints into sinners
So far gone
Under this tree
We'll grow roots and branches
We'll keep a hold of our leaves
They will turn through seasons
And they will fall to the feet
Of the children that come after us in the spring
In the spring, in the spring
Oh, sweet thing, bombs away
And I will say
To you, I leave
A pox upon this awful place
And for you, I bleed
Though every drop was such a waste
And now, oh, sweet thing, bombs away
And I will 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
And we'll just simply be
So kiss me, honey, sweetly with our eyes closed
