[Lyric] Raising Cain (Billy Burke)

He's got rocks but no gold. A smile that's lost its soul. He's got crops that just won't grow, he can't make them
Then he screams at the field for the poison in his yield. They send dusters out there one after another

I'm afraid son that you couldn't raise cain anywhere. It's a painstaking blood and sweat affair. They'll spit boulders in your eyes. Cut you down to half your size and leave your blind. So you can't raise cain anywhere

He grew up in the yard among the violent and the scarred. With a picturе of his mother that's now faded. Therе's a sheet in his cell, he can twist if no one tells. He'll be gone by morning chow if no one's listening

I'm afraid son that you couldn't raise cain anywhere. It's a painstaking blood and sweat affair. They'll spit proverbs in your eyes and cut you down to half your size and leave you blind, until you can't raise cain anywhere

It's a chain on a fence they all claim is self-defense. Don't you bring your dirty family onto this land. So she looks to the sky through the glass that shields her eyes. Close her fist up let's the shards fall where they might

I'm afraid dear that you're going to raise cain anyway. It's a painstaking love and death affair

They'll spit promise in your eyes and cut you down to half your size and leave you blind. But you're going to raise cain anyway

When they spit boulders and proverbs and promise in your eyes and leave you blind, I hope you raise cain everywhere
