high noon Lyrics

They got your number they know your name

It makes no difference if you go or stay

Nowhere to hide no place left to run

One choice open to you

Strap on both your guns

A crazy-making moon hanging like an empty eye

Riding an idiot wind radiating idiot lies

Every 'saint' every 'savior' half a carny half a swine

Hand on imaginary heart

And the black of deep space in their eyes

High noon better get to the station

Hell bound train arriving right on time

Barbarians shaking at the gates

While the so-called leaders quail and cry

Thundercloud comin' better stand your ground

When it's them that build up

Against them that tear down

Daddy always said

Never shit where you eat

And you just can't reason

With a bully or a cheat

This is the signal of a cosmic divide

This is the nexus where two worlds collide

There'll be no indecision

You best choose a side

The screamers and smashers

Or reason and compromise

There's a new dance mix

With a goose-stepping conga line

In heavy rotation

A bad vibration all of the time

High noon no time for hesitation

Coming undone in front your very eyes

Escalating to deteriorate

When good men weaken the dregs will rise

Who will stand now and turn the tide

As another city burns while the mayor hides

Can't educate the soft-headed elite

And you just can't reason

With a bully or a cheat
