It's time to grow eyes in the back of your head
Cuz the posses, they're comin to town
Yeah, they know right from wrong, and they leave sinners dead
So keep your head low and your voice down
They don't need no judge, they don't need no proof
Cuz they've got the power to yell
To blast off their guns and shout out their chants
And usher in the kingdom of hell
They know their place
And their place is your life
So when they come to town
You'd better start thinkin twice
They know god's truth justifies their abuse
So will you still be hangin around
When the posses start comin to town
Well it surely won't matter what you've done over years
When they see through your soul in a flash
They call what they see, shout it high from the trees
They'll burn you right down into ash
They're drunk off their power, yeah they love a good whine
Helps em see where their enemies lie
A sip of what's true and they might just see you
Better grow wings, learn to fly
They know their place
And their place is your life
So when they come to town
You'd better start thinkin twice
They know god's truth justifies their abuse
So will you still be hangin around
When the posses start comin to town
They think in a bubble
And see through a tunnel
And hear only those who agree
They listen to no one
While preaching their anthem
And bear no responsibility
They take what they covet
And claim that they love it
Then cast everything to the side
What they really desire
Is more wood for the fire
My friend, you're looking dry
They know their place
And their place is your life
So when they come to town
You'd better start thinkin twice
They know god's truth justifies their abuse
So will you still be hangin around
When the posses start comin to town
