lyrics

THE MARK
©Ruby Bird / Billy Carl Mancini, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

I stood in line for hours
And a couple of days
To get a bag of caffeine
And two weeks worth of grain
A hundred dollars in my pocket
Ain't worth an old tin can
Can't buy or sell anything
Without The Mark on my right hand

Run--don't look back
Run--they'll get you where you stand
Run--go on now
There's a time to fight
But this ain't no time to be a man

Too many sick and blind
From six months in the dark
Can't get no help from doctor
Not without The Mark
Too much desperation
Government takes a stand
They'll know all about me
From The Mark on my right hand

Run--don't look back
Run--they'll get you where you stand
Run--go on now
There's a time to fight
But this ain't no time to be a man
Not without The Mark
