letra de paying my debts - sons of perdition
well i was cast out of sacto and driven out east. in my darkest hour turned to crime. i was sentenced to jail, where i was beaten and starved. i was murdered time after time after time. treat a man like a dog and that’s what he’ll become. he’ll grovel today but soon his time will come. a man can be pushed, made to endure all pain, but one day like a noose, he’ll reach his breaking strain. in an act of defense or defiance or rage, i savagely beat my cellmate. so they shackled my legs and threw me in a gang to clear an old graveyard and work off my hate. i felt like a beast, running hurt, blind and bleeding, knowing somewhere a cliff is ahead. the bossman would watch from the shade of a tree and drive me ’til i was near dead. the boss licked his chops and said, “son, learn your place or i’ll throw your bones down in the hole.” like a pot boiling over and snuffing out its fire, my rage burned as black as a coal. i’m no bossman’s dog. my back won’t stoop far. my home’s not in heaven. i don’t run from war. i say a man can be pushed but when there’s nothing left at stake, sooner or later, he’ll break. my eyes filled with blood so i picked up a bone and i cleaved his fat head clean in two. he fell into the dust as i spat on his face. “brother, the same goes for you.”
