God Help You Dumb Boy Lyrics

Dumb boy, what do you say?
My eyes are lazy, my skin's a flake
But what good can you do?
Well, not so much as men like you
Dumb boy, what do you see?
The lesser men coming down on me
Tell us, what will you do?
I'll let my axe come down on you!
Here by the water, I'll raise my kingdom
I'll find my foliage
I'll raise my arms and
I'll say my name with, with 'glory be's' and
Here by the water! I'll raise my temple
Where no man shall be as small as me!
But I can't load the bullets and I can't use the gun
Can't have no children so I won't have a son
Can't wake up early so nothing will grow
I'll just lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low,
'Til the sun hangs low!
I'll lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low!
Dumb boy, you've done wrong
Now by what right do you good men judge?
You are in the contempt of man
Then gag my mouth and bind my hands!
Dumb boy, what are you seeing?
Ha, your guns they are empty, your rope it is frayed!
Tell us, what did you say?
In your empty chest, my axe I will lay!
Here by the water, I'll raise my kingdom
I'll find my foliage
I'll raise my arms and
I'll say my name with, with 'glory be's' and
Here by the water! I'll raise my temple
Where no man shall be as small as me!
But I can't load the bullets and I can't use the gun
Can't have no children so I won't have a son
Can't wake up early so nothing will grow
I'll just lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low,
'Til the sun hangs low!
I'll lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low!
Speak and follow, your words are hollow
Your steps are heavy,
you will not save me
Speak and follow, your words are hollow
Your steps are heavy,
you will not save me!

But I can't load the bullets and I can't use the gun
Can't have no children so I won't have a son
