Woke up this morning thinking of you, mom

I don't know you, mom
 A  A4/E  Dm7   F#m/B    A  A4/E   Dm7 Gm5+
"Give me your loving", she said to me

"I don't want you"

F     G#5+/7   F#m7    F        Bbm/F
Walking over streets that are a-dying
 A6   Dm7     F#m/B   A6     Dm7         F#m/B
Wanna die, die just when i'm old, old man
F                   G#5+/7           F#m7         F         Bbm/F
A street man said "I didn't mean to treat you so cruel like that
A6  Dm7        F#m/B    A6  Dm7    F#m/B
But that's the cost     of this     land"

This sign on the window, my Lord

What does it mean?

Do I have to be some kind of bad, my Lord
F               F7                F#m7
Catch a lotta money and go down proudly?

F        G#5+/7       F#m7     F           Bbm/F
Animals, all over the streets, sorrounding me
 A6  Dm7    F#m/B A6      Dm7    F#m/B F F7 F F7
they're a example to them all again, oh
F        G#5+/7    F#m7          F                   Bbm/F     A6
Should I be just like them, and shoot these slaves upon the industry?
 Dm7      F#m/B    A6   Dm7     F#m/B A6
Is it     the     cost of this land?
