they will come for you

[n3wt]

Hey guys, just another folk song I wrote in my folk song endeavours.

http://youtu.be/L3gKXNoQ2bs

i met a girl who tended bar
she said things were different here years ago
all the boys'd come just to see me
all they do is get drunk anymore

and down the bar an old auto working man
was nursing his beer all alone
he said I'm 43 there's no work for me
and now the bank says I don't own my own home

and if they came for me
then they'll come for you
you can bet your name is on a list somewhere too
they will come for you

out front in the cold the guy slinging weed
said I'd rather be working someplace warm
but it turns out six months for intent to sell
means three years unemployed

and down the street two young men were holding hands
enjoying the winter's first snow
and you had to point out there love is the wrong kind of love
well sir who are you to know?

and if they came for me
then they'll come for you
you can bet someone has a problem with something that you do
and they will come for you

i ducked in to a small burger shop
where a man was giving the counter girl hell
he said you should be on your back
if you were my woman you'd know your place well

and if they came for me
then they'll come for you
you can bet somebody wants you docile and demure
and they will come for you

if they came for me
they'll come for you
you can bet your name is on a list somewhere too
and they will come for you

Cheers.
