I'm just a walking shadow
of the man I used to be,
the now and future paper picture
of the once and former me.
The days that I spent watching
and the long nights I stood guard
have spent and burned everything I earned
and this is my reward.
I used to wear the white hat.
I used to do no wrong,
shooting fast and loose till they called a truce
and Freedom came along.
But now my guns are silent
and the naked light of day
shows the faces of the Lords of Love
who would take my guns away.
It seems folks don't remember.
How soon they forget
to say that it can't happen here
means it just ain't happened yet.
The Lords of Love have fooled you.
They're really Lords of Lies.
If you let them do your thinking for you,
you're in for a surprise.
I used to wear the white hat.
I used to do no wrong,
shooting fast and loose till they called a truce
and Freedom came along.
But now my guns are silent
and the naked light of day
shows the faces of the Lords of Love
who would take my guns away.
And now my guns are useless.
They're buried in the ground
and the Lords of Love are so proud of
the Peace they think they've found.
But don't upset their balance
and don't step out of line
or you'll find out they're out of patience
and you're all out of time.
I used to wear the white hat.
I used to do no wrong,
shooting fast and loose till they called a truce
and Freedom came along.
But now my guns are silent
and the naked light of day
shows the faces of the Lords of Love
who took my guns away.
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do ya feel lucky, that's what I say.
Lucky in a forty-four sort of way?
A legend in your own mind, Lieutenant,
go ahead and make my day.
A man's got to know his limitations
and you've got to ask yourself,
do ya, do ya, do ya feel lucky, punk
or do you feel something else?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do ya feel lucky, punk
or do you feel something else?
This says you're shit outta luck!

Let me be your guru
I would be so good to you
You will be mine mine mine mine mine
With your name on my dotted line
Hey, my little minion, ain't try'na hear your opinion
I just want your obedience
So keep your questions to yourself
While I show you how to dance
And we dance
And we dance Apocalypso
We dance Apocalypso
And we Dance Apocalypso
I know just what scares you so
And that's all I need to know
Shut up! I'm gonna lead and you're gonna follow!
And I know which way to go, whoa!
We dance Apocalypso
Yeah, you dance Apocalypso
When I say dance Apocalypso
We will dance Apocalypso
And we dance, and we dance
And we dance, and we dance
And we dance, And we dance
