It riggles in a nut of time
I'm trying not to see the signs
Of yesterday's command
That I might lose my mind.
It seems they sang their songs in vain
Did nobody hear those words they claimed
When first young johnny carried a gun
Haroo, haroo
It wakes you when you're sleeping
In a shadow made for two
But when you're good and ready
There's just one thing left to do
La la la la la la la la
Whistle past the graveyard lest they
Call your name boy
Call your name
Robes inside a big white house
With lies and fear it shed no light
They've heard the truth beneath the shroud
And kept it out of sight
With ropes of steel it breaks my heart and my dad it seems is just a start of lessons learned from long ago when blood ran in our street
It wakes you when you're sleeping 'cross a well known down the way we better make it matter every single goddamn day
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Whistle past the graveyard lest they
Call your name boy
Call your name
Call your name boy
Call your name
It seems they sang their song to me and nobody hear the words they claimed
When first young johnny carried a gun
Haroo, haroo
They spend it with a fury not fit for a king
'cause only true believers never got a chance to sing
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Whistle past the graveyard lest they
Call your name boy
Call your name
Call your name boy
Call your name
Call your name boy
Call your name
Call your name boy
Call your name
Call your name boy
Call your name
Call your name boy
Call your name
