Held Up

These lyrics are all wrong.

The Lyrics are:

bought the old farmland for a song sold it for many reasons too many of them wrong horseshoe bets and the women that came along blind drunk on their demon rum

kickin the pedals tryin to out run the dogs with no running start to jump over the fire doin headstands atop of the rotten telephone poles all held up by the wire

his knowledge a product of his loneliness a mad cousin to his holiness maniacs in cages and patriots in sages a cruel untelling of the books

but i'll not give myself to the ground i kill, more than i live, so slowly

heard a great force raping the land like general kelly and his ghost yellow man marching like sherman in reverse steeling the fire from the building, the city from the curse

master dies by his own hired hand half a day later father's hanging from the steeple strongest body of thieves to ever scourge a land to ever pillage a people

but i'll not give myself to the ground i kill, more than i live, so slowly oh,, allow this night to go on let it roll along, the sun never rise allow this life to go on, let it roll along, the sun never rise

say one thing and do another and bunker down in your alsatian den we ain't got room for your politics here politicians make a bad name for the conmen

and water fell like burning metal set off by a dying sun them women they circled like covered wagons crying their loved ones back from where they've gone

but i'll not give...

Sounds like a place of hell from the view point of the singer.
