lyrics

On a blood red dawn
In a forgotten land
Four wheels of fury
Cause a scuffle in the sand

There’s a package on the back seat
Black windows a quarter wound
Out slides gold ringed fingers
This transaction is going down

He’s the law and the provider
Of all they want to hear
He knows all their desires
And is everything they fear

Still they fumble in their pockets
To find last night’s powdered notes
All shakin and tremblin
They hand over their souls

PRE CHORUS
You never see it
You never seek it
You never see it
You never seek your

CHORUS
Yes man, he knows what you want
Take him for granted
You’ll know the cost
Cos he’s your yes man
And he’s got no remorse
Cross him at your peril
You’ll know the cost

Stranded in the desert
Switchblade at the throat
Hands all scorched and blistered
Knees forced into the dirt

A blood filled mouth still screaming
Oh won’t you hear my plight
I must have killed a thousand men
But I sure as hell lost this fight

PRE CHORUS
CHORUS

Sycophantic motherfuckers
Grasping at their hems
Your dignity went up in smoke
‘Fore all this began
Desperately fabricated
Your weak sacrifice
A clean façade so they don’t see
It’s their head in the vice

All the delusion got us where we are now
Though the lies may change, the meaning stays the same
You give and you take because you want it all
With an insatiable greed you map out your downfall

With a gun to the back, you’ll answer that
With your blood in the dirt, for all you’ve hurt
With your head in shame, you’ll take that blame
Move that shit around so you can answer to your

CHORUS

You’ll know the cost
You’ll know the cost
Cos he’s your yes man
You’ll know the cost
