the bootleg saint
Singer:sam roberts
come make your complaint to the bootleg saint
keepin' on for your freedom
brown skin he has chemical roots
he's taking back the city one sinner at a time
he'll sacrifice if you pay the price
he remembers a time when everything was alright
then old captain industry who sold his soul at wounded knee
bought himself a little property
the saint had found his enemy
he'll sacrifice if you pay the price
lions for sheep - an eye for an eye
he wears a ring with the brand of a three-legged dog
his rose-coloured glasses cut through the fog
the laws might sleep but they never die
he came down on a storm cloud hard as the amazon rain
and you can pay your respects in the form of a cheque
he's taking back the city one sinner at a time
he'll sacrifice if you pay the price
the laws might sleep but they never die
between an everyman hero and a waste of time
