Bad Folks

Your heart got caught in the crossfire and you're laying dead on the ground.
You don't want to lose so you dare not move and you dare not make a sound.
Some play nice and some roll the dice, but some don't play it down.
And everybody runs when the bad folks come around.

You can save yourself and you can live to tell, or you can jump right in and drown.
Water three feet deep won't hurt your feet might kill you when your laying down.
You don't have time to think about your crime, if you don't chime in you're out.
But everybody runs when the bad folks come around.
Yeah everybody runs when the bad folks come around.

How many tales wind up in jail, take the tale of old John Brown. Some folks change and some stay the same, theres a shame in every town. You don't look back because you can't take it back and the truth might burn you down.
But everybody knows when the bad folks come around.

Everybody knows when the bad folks come around
Yeah everybody knows when the bad folks come around.
