Lyrics

Best Believe

1863, Savannah all in flame
lily white smudged black against the sky
1884, the Shawnee flee the plain
sacred ground ain?t sacred in your eye

If you be waiting for it, you?d best come on in
if you?re in doubt, you best believe
if you been waiting for it, you?d best come on in
if you?re in doubt, you?d best believe

All the king?s men push paper on the street
learn to feint, learn to spin the wheel
you be cleaning up on someone else?s seat
it?s good for you and he can learn to feel

Now you be raising your kids up in the world
you?d better teach them to be cruel
better teach them to hate and doubt the word
lest someone take them for a fool

Some folks they be beholden to the truth
some folks they be holding to the lie
if you be holding out for any kind of proof
you might as well throw pennies at the sky

1863, Savannah all in flame
darkened shadows blackened every door
1884, the Shawnee flee the plain
sacred ground ain?t sacred anymore
