He Wanted to Say

I should very much like to speak to Mr Coalhouse Walker Jr

Try turning around and going back where you came from cracker

What is it you want

I i i want to i know that if

He wanted to say

I am sick of the injustices

He wanted to say

I have passion in my heart

In a world of callow strangers

Let your dangers be my dangers

Let this be the battle in which

I was born to take part

He wanted to say

I reject the world's complacency

He wanted to say

Give me something to believe

In my soul i am your brother

We are bound to one another

Angered by the darkness of life

And the lies we perceive

But All He Said Was-

I know how to blow things up

He Wanted To Say

I am not who i appear to be

He Wanted To Say

Do not blame me for my past

Every day i wake up knowing

Something's lost and something's owing

This was deep inside me

And you helped me find it

At last

We are comrades

In the struggle

That goes on across

The earth

Comrades in the struggle

Brothers you and i

In the cause of justice

Brothers

The earth

Brothers you and i

We must fight

For all we're worth

With dynamite

And wire

And sheer desire

We'll light

The heavens

And show

The bastards

Fire in the sky

Fire in the sky

Fire in the sky

He Wanted To Say

How i envy you your innocence

He Wanted To Say

You're a fool as well as brave

In my soul i am your brother

We are bound to one another

Angered by the darkness of life

And the lies we perceive

One last trip to the grave

But All He Said Was-

We have rules here

I'll follow them

There is no turning back

None

What do you call yourselves

We are righteous men We call ourselves Coalhouse

Coalhouse

Coalhouse

Now we're all Coalhouse
