Got the law man The con man The liquor store man Got the man at the premiere to "Spider-Man" Got the old man calling on the young man Got the soul man Trying to keep a hold man I seen the stars lookin in her eyes So many times i tried Seen a man who caught the rainbow's end He claimed That the pot of gold resided within (CHORUS) For a name in the U.S.A. For a little bit of fame today For a name in the world today You want to fly high You want to fly high You want to fly You want to fly You want to fly high Got the this is your land man This is my land man Got the blood on the tracks man Got the guilty man Got the innocent man Got the buffalo soldier The dreadlock Rastaman Seen the stars looking in her eyes So many times I've tried Talked to a man who caught the Raninbow's end he found That the pot of gold resided within Chorus (2x)

Say Judas came up to D.C. He'd been down in Georgia for a while He drove a 944 He bought with the soul Of a blonde-headed kid With a left-handed guitar Now he's lookin' for me Citizen C-O-P-E Sign the dotted line please For the fake 50's Now Judas answer me "Since I was the age to speak Haven't you been listening?" Salvation Salvation Salvation Salvation Salvation Well he came to town Found the woman that I love And he fucked her down She told him where I live Off of 9th in the alleyway Where they say They got the coke and the dope Until you end up broken "You should have let the smack get you" he said "But now you've got to deal with me instead I'm downstairs on the Motorola You know I've got 3 golden bullets And I'm shooting for your soul" Salvation Salvation Salvation Salvation Well I came down with my Martin blazin' My voice It was cutting him up Now he's aiming His first shot grazed my eye I lost half of my sight And my firstborn's life The second shot knocked off my guitar moon And it made my guitar kinda play out of tune But I just kept playing Like I had nothing to lose He turned the third on himself 'Cause the bastard knew Salvation Salvation Salvation Salvation Put the gun down Put the gun Put the gun down Put the gun Put the gun down Put the gun Put the gun down Put the gun Put the gun down Put the gun Put the gun down Put the gun Put the gun down Put the gun Put the gun down Put the gun down Put the gun Put the gun down Put the gun Put the gun down Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah
