Hey now i'm in trouble man
It seems i've gone and bit the hand
Scold me and i'll tuck my tail 'til you ring the bell
Hey you little lamb
Try to understand
You can eat from my earth and
I'll just take that coat off your back
You can't hurt me anymore
And i'm tired of what for
So i'm singing to the gallows
Fa la la la
Hey now you're a different breed
I profile superficially
You fit my description stereotypically
Hey you're a funny man
Dancing for the rain
You've been asking for his mercy
So why do you kill in his name?
And so barred behind the cage where lies a freak
And he, she or it is haunted by deceit and confusion
For its hundred heads are fighting constantly
Hey now i'm in trouble man
It seems i've gone and bit the hand
Hey now i'm in trouble man
Don't drag this out anymore
'cause you can't hurt me anymore
And i'm tired of what for
So i'm singing to the gallows
Fa la la la
