The Ballad Of Hank McCain
No one knows better than McCain
Life's a filthy dirty game
Very very hard to win
No one knows better than McCain
How to disregard the pain
Never, never let it in
No one knows better than McCain
That an angry man goes blind
Knocks his head against the wall
No one knows better than McCain
How it hurts a man to fight
That he's human after all
No one knows better than McCain
What a desperate man may do
When it gets too hard to bear
No one knows better than McCain
How to spit on the taboos
As they thought he'd never dare
No one knew better than McCain
How to care for number one
How to take and never give
No one knew better than McCain
That when all is said and done
That's the only way to live
No one knew better than McCain
Just how angry you can be
When they cage you in with laws
No one knew better than McCain
That a man who thinks he's free
knocks his head against a wall
No one knew better than McCain
Just how bitter it would be
To be beaten after all
No one knew better than McCain
They're the ones who fix the game
They're the ones with loaded dice
No one knew better than McCain
That they'd get him all the same
And they made him pay the price
