salem mass - the roar (american punk band/artist) lyrics

the commonwealth called us up one halloween
so me and ol’ tommy*gun fled to the scene
of a crime left unsolved, for the devil’s involved
and the bad girls of salem took blame for it all

we paid up our tributes to mikey mckeogh
a fella like atlas, a belly of booze
we burned us a fifty of green b.c. trees
a real forest fire on top of the eaves
of boston town, we heard the sound
of harbor bells a*ringing
all the men down there were singing

i’m going to h*ll
so stab my back and wish me well
before the reaping’s come to pass
i’ll be saying a prayer at salem mass

we hopped on a train pulling north from the station
to find us the witches we knew would be waiting
we sat ourselves down next to ketchup and mustard
a*stirring the cauldron, those two southie f*ckers
we stepped off the platform and into the maelstrom
the belfry bats were winging
all the ghouls out there were singing
i’m going to h*ll
so stab my back and wish me well
before the reaping’s come to pass
i’ll be saying a prayer at salem mass

the mass was in session, a ghoulish procession
of specters all seeking salvation in heaven
the masks that they wore and the oaths that they swore
the bonds that they broke, just as quickly reforged
the brimstone that fell for their sins, what the h*ll
all the beasts, they were repenting
trying to crash the gates of heaven

i’m going to h*ll
so stab my back and wish me well
before the reaping’s come to pass
i’ll be saying a prayer at salem mass

we sat ourselves down at the burying point
’til the cops came along, kicked us out of the joint
fed us to the mob that was stalking the street
without ever knowing that under their feet
were the very same stones that were unjustly thrown
they were crushing the accused
you could hear the women’s blues
they have used me
set torch to me
for i will not bow my head
to any man
in this new land
’til the day they find me

dead on the streets of salem, mass
dead on the streets of salem, mass
dead on the streets of salem, mass
i’ll be dead on the streets of salem, mass
