"No one's trying to stop you, are they?" {GR. 999}

Rough God Goes Riding

    Oh the mud splattered victims
    Have to pay out all along the ancient highway
    Torn between half truth and victimisation
    Fighting back with counter attacks 

    It's when that rough god goes riding
    When the rough god goes gliding
    And then rough god goes riding
    Riding on in 

    I was flabbergasted by the headlines
    People in glasshouses throwing stones
    Gaping wounds that will never heal
    Now they're moaning like a dog in a manger 

    It's when that rough god goes riding
    And then the rough god goes gliding
    There'll be nobody hiding
    When that rough god comes riding on in 

    And it's a matter of survival
    When you're born with your back against the
    wall
    Won't somebody hand me a bible
    Won't you give me that number to call 

    When that rough god goes riding
    And then that rough god goes gliding
    They'll be nobody hiding
    When that rough god goes riding on in
    Riding on in 

    When that rough god goes riding
    When that rough god goes gliding
    There'll be nobody hiding
    When that rough god goes riding on in
    Riding on in 

    There'll be no more heroes
    They'll be reduced to zero
    When that rough god goes riding
    Riding on in
    Riding on in
    Riding on in
    Riding on in
