Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly
Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free
But now theres fussing and theres fighting
We all taking sides
While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide

You see Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul
Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole
But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind
That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind

Where do i stand?
Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand
It's all gray. There are no black and whites so who am I to say

I said yes I am I am and I belong
Cause I got my land and I got my song
Yes I am I am and I am strong
Cause I got my land and I got my song

Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett
He wanted to leave his mark, you know, so we did not forget
So he said "Mine mine mine, all for me"
It's great to be a cowboy in the wild west roaming free

So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head
He said "I'm giving you all a choice, you're either with me or your dead
See, i got to have this kin, i cant get her off my mind
And I aint gonna stop until shes mine, mine"


Where do i stand?
Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand
It's all gray. There are no black and whites so who am I to say

I said yes I am I am and I belong
Cause I got my land and I got my song
Yes I am I am and I am strong
Cause I got my land all I got's my song

Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull
Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools
I guess it boils down to how you see it, do you see Kimberly,
Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity?

Where do I stand?
Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand
It's all gray, there are no black and whites
So who am I to say?

You are wrong but you never know what you got until its gone
And one day the little people will ask what you did and what we said

I said yes I am I am and I belong
Cause I got my land and I got my song
Yes I am I am and I am strong
Cause I got my land and I got my song

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
