Living Bones of Mayor Jones Lyrics by Folk Hogan

Band of Mighty Souls

0

Now gather my children, Let me tell you a tale
Of a man lost his soul on his way down to Hell
He once lived as mayor, this city he built
But he gave it all up for the dirt and the filth
He walked off the job at a quarter to four
“What about your bills?” I won’t pay anymore
He gave it all up and you’re asking why?
“It’s better to stand than to lay down and die.”
He’s grown much wiser in his old age
You can’t be corrupt if there’s no one to pay
I left my prime position
For this sunless disposition
Nobody will recognize me now
That I am living my life underground
I wanted to see how very bad it can be
Amongst the broken men on the streets
Life underground is a very hard place
There are men with no hearts, who have fallen from grace
So tonight I will lay down to sleep on the tracks
Tonight I will slumber and never come back
I’ll spare you the details and tell you know more
But I’ll die a free man, not a government whore
I left my prime position
For this sunless disposition
Nobody will recognize me now
That I am living my life underground
