I got a coin in my palm I can make it disappear I got a card up my sleeve Name it and I'll pull it out your ear I got a rabbit in my hat If you wanna come and see This is what we'll be This is what we'll be
I got shackles on my wrists Soon I'll slip 'em and be gone Chain me in a box in the river And I'll rise singin' this song Trust none of what you hear And less of what you see This is what we'll be This is what we'll be
I got a shiny saw blade All I need's a volunteer I'll cut you in half While you're smilin' ear to ear And the freedom that you sought's Drifting like a ghost amongst the trees This is what we'll be This is what we'll be
Now there's a fire down below But it's coming up here So leave everything you know Carry only what you fear On the road the sun is sinkin' low There's bodies hangin' in the trees This is what we'll be This is what we'll be
