Something's Wrong

Something's come out of the unknown
like a thirsty man or an unpaid loan
You can feel these shadows in the corners of your life
like an over-wound clock on a butcher's knife

Oh-oh, something's wrong
Oh-oh, something's wrong
Oh-oh, something's wrong
An' I don't wanna be here when the killings done

Man's got a soul, so I've heard it said
by a guy named Cain who was in need of bread
"Man's gotta kill you know if he ain't able
to slake his thirst and bring some food to the table

Oh-oh, something's wrong
Oh-oh, something's wrong
Oh-oh, something's wrong
An' I don't wanna be here when the killings done

Hot wind's blowing 'cross the plains tonight
They'll be plenty of reasons but they just ain't right
plenty of reasons to just let go
Who wants to eat the weeds from the seeds we sow?

Oh-oh, something's wrong
Oh-oh, something's wrong
Oh-oh, something's wrong
An' I don't wanna be here when the killings done
Yeah, I don't wanna be here when the killings done
No, I don't wanna be here when the killings done
