The Universe - Dead Man Lyrics

There's a dead man hanging on the
Tree on the hill
He did not read the bible
So the people in the church got thrilled
They chased him down
And in the name of the lord
They hung him up upon the hill

There's a dead man hanging on the
Tree on the hill
He did not join the army
He didn't wanna go out and kill
His father country wanted him in jail
To break his will
But he rather took a rope and
Hung himself upon the hill

There's a dead girl lying underneath
The tree by the riverside
She has never loved a man before
'Cause she was looking for a bride
But her daddy's called her faggot
And for many many years she cried
No love at all, it broke her heart
Now she's down by the riverside
No love at all it broke her heart
So she drowned in her tears last night

So don't you ever tell nobody to deny his only truth
Origin, religion or the lifestyle of the youth
Before you judge a woman for her ways
Take a walk in her shoes

And if you can't change your mind
I'll be the hangman and I´ll find
You and hang you high
On the tree by the riverside

There's a dead man hanging on the
Tree on the hill
There's a dead man hanging on a rope
On a branch of a tree on a hill
No love at all
Now he's hanging down the hill
No love at all
Now he's hanging down the hill
