Heroes & Villains Songtext
von T-Ride

Won′t need no mercy on my soul
When the lawman's got me cold
′Cause breaking the rules that they told
Was something I had to do

Play the game
Start to win and the rules change
My ship come rollin' in, it's gonna roll right over you
(And your law too)

The tightrope we walk leads
Straight to the gallows
And when the hangman calls your name
Heroes and villains hang the same

Early in the morning swinging in the breeze
There′s a mist shrouded figure hangin′ in the sycamore tree
Hero or villain, don't matter much to me
They all end up the same, no one gets off scot-free


The tightrope we walk leads
Straight to the gallows
And when the hangman calls your name
Heroes and villains all hang the same
Sinner or sainthood′s your game

Whether you're a demon or divine
When the hangman says it′s time
You won't see me sing the blues
′Cause I said, "fuck all your rules"

Heroes and villains hang the same
It's just the writing on the tombstone change
There ain't a peasant or a king
Escape that Dodge city rope swing

(When the hangman calls your name)
When the hangman calls your name
Heroes and villains hang the same

Maybe I′ll concede to do
Anything you want me to
Maybe I′ll bleed for you
But you gotta catch me


You know I'll cry for you
Maybe I′ll fry for you
Well, someday I'll die for you
But you gotta catch me
(Better hit me with your first shot)

(Oh, heroes and villains all hang the same)
(Heroes, hang the same)
(Heroes and villains all hang the)
(Ah)

Won′t need no mercy on my soul
When the lawman catches me cold
Before I swing from that gallows pole
Catch me if you can, my time ain't due
