7.Bound To Be
作詞：Deasy William
Raised on words like 'Punishment'
And 'God will get you if you don't do what you're told'
Nuns turned children into fearful right handed
Little servants of the Lord
And then the atom bomb fell down
On Hiroshima, North Dakota, the year she turned sixteen
And she said, 'There is something very wrong here
Do you know what I mean？ Do you know what I mean？'
I got a visions forming in my head
Got keep hearing what the preacher said
He said this world will be the death of me
Yes, I know it will, it's bound to be, it's bound to be
Satchel full of broken hopes
And empty picture postcards that she'd never send
Her mama sitting on the front porch step
Daddy frowning in the darkened doorway, waving his regret
And she was jumping on the Santa Fe
Summer night in 1947, bound for God knew where
And she said, ‽I can see destruction fast approaching
I feel it in the air, yea, I feel it in the air, yea'
And I got a visions forming in my head
(See the blood on the horizon)
And I keep hearing what the preacher said
(Said, ‽The truth will set you freeâ€)
He said this world will be the death of me
(I got no one to rely on)
Yes, I know it will, it's bound to be
(Except for me)
On a road in Valparaiso
She met a hobo named Old John
They hunkered down in a gazebo
And chose a star to gaze upon
Old John said he could see her slipping
And he asked her what was wrong
She said, 'The rope I had been gripping turned to sand
And now it's gone, it's gone'
Well she said, ‽It's goneâ€
Can't you see the writing on the blood soaked
Blue horizon plain as VJ day？
Hear the barking of the drowning dogs
Frozen like so many Eisenhower statues in Pompeii
I think, I'll take another taste Old John to numb my heart
God knows I'm falling fast as atoms through the sky
She said, 'This world it sure ain't no place to live in
But it ain't no place to die, no, ain't no place to die, no'
And I got a visions forming in my head
(See the blood on the horizon)
And I keep hearing what the preacher said
(Said, ‽The truth will set you freeâ€)
He said this world will be the death of me
(I got no one to rely on)
Yes, I know it will, it's bound to be, yea
(Except for me)
Well, I got a visions forming in my head
(See the blood on the horizon)
And I keep hearing what the preacher said
(Said, ‽The truth will set you freeâ€)
He said this world will be another death of me
(I got no one to rely on)
Yes, and for all of us it's, it's bound to be, yea
(Except for me)
It's bound to be, yea
(See the blood on the horizon)
Oh, it's bound to be, yea
(Said, ‽The truth will set you freeâ€)
Alright, alright
(I got no one to rely on except for me)
