When you run, digger, runner, listener, thief You carry it all with you Today I woke up uncertain And you know that gives me the fits So I left this land of fungible convictions Because it seemed like the pits When I say convictions I mean it's something to abjure And when I say uncertain I mean to doubt I'll not turn out a caricature So I set off in search of my forebears 'Cause my forbearance was in need But the only job I could get in dear old Blighty Was working on the railway between Selby and Leeds So I took a ferry to Belfast Where I had cause to think They wanted none of my armchair convictions But nobody seemed to mind when I was putting on the drinks You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? Letras de cancionesAh, but they hate you, they hate you 'cause you're guilty So I stayed out all night in Ibixa By way of San Sebastian Where they said "yankee, you better watch what you're saying Unless you're saying it in Basque or in Catalan" So all the way east to Novi-Sad Nary a bridge was to be seen But mother Russia, she laid her pontoons on down So I crossed over, if you know what I mean Then on the road to Damascus Yes, the scales, they fell from my eyes And the simplest lesson I learned at the mount of olives That everybody lies And the French foreign legion You know they did their best But I never believed in T.E. Lawrence So how the hell could I believe in Beau Gest? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? Ah, but they hate you, make no mistake, they hate you So I spent a night in Kigali In a five diamond hotel Where maybe someday they'll to the watusi On down in Hutu hell I fell in with a merchant marine Who promised to take me home But when I woke up all beaten and bloodied I couldn't tell if it was Jersey or Sierra Leone You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? Ah, but they hate you, they hate you 'cause you're guilty So, you didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now would you? Ah, but they hate you, make no mistake, they hate you And the knocking in my head Just like the knocking at my door And maybe it was me or maybe it was my brother But either me or me and him went down to the bar Where I got seven powers in me For to give me the cure When seven powers failed to spin me I had to get me seven more And when I say me I mean my brain And when I say give me the cure I mean to kill the pain And when I say kill the pain I mean to get the devil out And when I say devil I mean the manifestation of doubt You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? Ah, but they hate you, they hate you 'cause you're guilty So, you didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now did you? You didn't think they could hate you, now would you? Ah, but they hate you, make no mistake, they hate you From Letras Mania
