Lyrics
as the sweat pours down my face the bulls yell pick up the pace but so goes life here under that hot blazing sun the rattlin of our chains sets the rhythm for each swing another day of retribution has begun and with ev'ry hammer blow as time moves along so slow the hardest part is to know that I still have life to go lyin games are what she played now she's lyin in her grave she knew I wasn't playin when she saw the gun prayed the judge would say the chair but his mercy sent me here breakin rocks for life under this merciless sun and with ev'ry hammer blow as time moves along so slow the hardest part is to know that I still have life to go yes I still have life to go ev'ry sunday mama comes comes to see her only son and when she crys all I can do is turn away in this sun I'd rather die than to see her tear filled eyes if I could run a bull would end her pain today but with ev'ry hammer blow as time moves along so slow the hardest part is I know that I still have life to go yes I still have life to go as the sweat pours doown my face the bulls yell pick up the pace another day of retribution has begun
