Ivory Tusk Lyrics

    Music: chan kinchla
    Lyrics: john popper

    Ivory tusk, smash into thine own
    To show thee fit to continue
    I weep for them and i weep for me
    We rally to charge to die
    And laugh when it's through

    Well rise and walk now you're a man
    Don't try to play catch me if you can
    Just do as you're told son you must abide
    Have you gone crazy it never was a free ride
    Just take yo medicine and help it go down
    Do as you're told boy no need to frown
    You know it happened to me and your granddad too
    Not a goddamn any one can do

    Well sir i don't know but i hear them say
    If there's no free ride then ride away
    And it could be me, and it could be strange
    But keep hearing voices singing "comes a change"

    Blood drop spill unto the parched earth
    And nourish that which is hungry
    Feast well avenging madness
    Then call your buzzards down to clean the carcass

    Well your life's not yours it's everyone's
    So do the right thing and go for your guns
    It's how the world was saved and how the west was won
    So here he comes now you gotta stand or run
    Just level your iron boy and sight him in
    You ain't out to die boy
    You're out to win
    You know you hate him, you must know he hates you
    Not a goddamn anyone can do

    Well if my life is everyone's well good that's fine
    But you've yet to prove that that makes his life mine
    And it could be me and i could be strange
    But i keep hearing voices singing "comes a change"

    Like rain and thunder washing everything away
    That's what i hear them say
    You might just prefer to pray
    It's the same thing anyway

    Ivory tusk, smash into thine own
    To show thee fit to continue
    I weep for them and i weep for me
    We rally to charge to die
    And laugh when it's through

    Well sir i don't know but i hear them say
    If there is no free ride then ride away
    And it could be me, and it could be strange
    But keep hearing voices singing "comes a change"

    Like rain and thunder washing everything away
    That's what i hear them say
    You might just prefer to pray
    Like rain and thunder washing everything away
    That's what i hear them say
    You might just prefer to pray
