Ivory Tusk Lyrics - Travelers & Thieves - Blues Traveler

Ivory tusk, smash into thine own 

To show thee fit to continue 

I weep for them and I weep for me 

We rally to charge to die 

And laugh when it's through 

Well, rise and walk now you're a man 

Don't try to play catch me if you can 

Just do as you're told son you must abide 

Have you gone crazy it never was a free ride 

Just take yo medicine and help it go down 

Do as you're told boy no need to frown 

You know it happened to me and your granddad too 

Not a goddamn anyone can do 

Well sir, I don't know but I hear them say 

If there's no free ride then ride away 

And it could be me and it could be strange 

But keep hearing voices singing comes a change 

Blood drop spill unto the parched earth 

And nourish that which is hungry 

Feast well avenging madness 

Then call your buzzards down to clean the carcass 

Well, your life's not yours it's everyone's 

So do the right thing and go for your guns 

It's how the world was saved and how the west was won 

So here he comes now you gotta stand or run 

Just level your iron boy and sight him in 

You ain't out to die boy, you're out to win 

You know you hate him, you must know he hates you 

Not a goddamn anyone can do 

Well, if my life is everyone's well good that's fine 

But you've yet to prove that that makes his life mine 

And it could be me and I could be strange 

But I keep hearing voices singing comes a change 

Like rain and thunder washing everything away 

That's what I hear them say 

You might just prefer to pray 

It's the same thing anyway 

Ivory tusk, smash into thine own 

To show thee fit to continue 

I weep for them and I weep for me 

We rally to charge to die 

And laugh when it's through 

Well sir, I don't know but I hear them say 

If there is no free ride then ride away 

And it could be me and it could be strange 

But keep hearing voices singing comes a change 

Like rain and thunder washing everything away 

That's what I hear them say 

You might just prefer to pray 

Oh, like rain and thunder washing everything away 

That's what I hear them say 

You might just prefer to pray
