Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Mama put my guns in the ground
(It wasn’t their fault)
I can’t shoot them anymore
(How were they even supposed to know?)
That cold black cloud is coming down
(All things can be healed in time)
Feels like I’m knockin' on heaven’s door
(What, why do they screw with us?)
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
"You just better start sniffin'
Your own rank subjugation Jack
'cause it's just you against
Your tattered libido,
The bank and the mortician,
Forever man and it wouldn't
Be luck if you could get
Out of life alive"
