Generate meaning
1
Come make your complaint to Bootleg Saint
2
(He's been gone, keepin' on, keepin' on for your freedom)
3
Black boots, brown skin, he's chemical roots
4
He's taking back the city one sinner at a time
5
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price
6
He remembers a time when everything was alright
7
We had water from wine, the streets were alive
8
Then old Captain Industry, who sold his soul at Wounded Knee
9
Bought himself a little property, the Saint had found his enemy
10
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price
11
The laws might sleep but they never die
12
Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye
13
He wears a ring with the brand of a three-legged dog
14
His rose-colored glasses cut through the fog
15
The laws might sleep but they never die
16
Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye
17
He came down on a storm cloud, hard as the Amazon rain
18
(Took him on, took him on and on)
19
And you can pay your respects in the form of a check
20
He's taking back the city one sinner at a time
21
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price
22
The laws might sleep but they never die
23
Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye
24
The Bootleg Saint, well, he walks the line
25
Between an everyman hero and a waste of time
