Ballad Of Hollis Brown

de Rise Against

Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin broken down

You looked for work and money
And you walked a ragged mile
You looked for work and money
And you walked a ragged mile
Your children are so hungry
That they don't know how to smile

Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're tuggin' at your sleeve
Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're tuggin' at your sleeve
You walk the floor and wonder why
With every breath you breathe

The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it's got your mare
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it's got your mare
Is there's anyone that knows
If there's anyone that cares?

You prayed to the Lord above
Oh, please, send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above
Please, send you a friend
But your empty pockets tell you
That you ain't got no friend

Your babies are crying louder now
It's pounding on your brain
Your wife's screams are stabbin' you
Like the dirty drivin' rain

Your grass is turning black
And there's no water in your well
Your grass is turning black
And there's no water in your well
You spent your last lone dollar
On seven shotgun shells

Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls, oh
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That's hangin' on the wall

Your brain, it is a-bleedin'
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your brain, it is a-bleedin'
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That you're holdin' in your hand

And now there's seven breezes blowin'
All around the cabin door
Now there's seven breezes blowin'
All around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the ocean's pounding roar

There's seven people dead
Out on a South Dakota farm
There's seven people dead
Out on a South Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There's seven new people born
