As you were, like a child Innocent and running wild And now you're old and you're grey haired Your dead-eyed stare You're running scared When you were young the fires spread Southeasterly to beachy head And london's husk out rust That fled the lungs a bag of dust Draw a line in the sand Coast-to-coast and man-to-man Repopulate the sherwood forest And lynch the deathly pale this honest Carve a scar across the earth Visible from high above North and south, sever ties Kiss your enemies goodbye Hold of my heart like a stone Over waters deep below And running home, through the night I was running fast I was running scared I was running wild
