A postcard arrives
A
I see you're on your walk well I hope the promised land

Spare a thought for our worries over your state of mind
A
So what if you leave behind some trouble with the law?
F#m
It's not so long since your attempt to crucify their dog

Your chosen one, the one whose cross will blaze on high
Em
To warn us that meteoric retribution falls down from the skies
Well I don't give a fuck about that

You know the day, the date, the time, but not the why
Well I don't give a fuck about that!
