I scream for peace from the clutches of the street Now who do you think that you're saving From the gust of glow my heart will flow My love is like the raven But no bitter past could try to unmask The truthful words you've been saying The British cla** will divide your task But my love is like a raven So gather your boys and hold on This ain't a place to be hung Oh no no no no Gather your boys and hold on This ain't a place to be hung Oh no no no no It's the rattle and roll coming over, hey! If the hands of strife and the darkest night Could write down the words they're exchanging Then my ringed neck may bring the d**h But my love is still the raven No bitter fling could force you to begin The truthful lie you've been craving There stands a ghost on a withdrawn coast That flies just like a raven So gather your boys and hold on This ain't a place to be hung Oh no no no no Gather your boys and hold on This ain't a place to be hung Oh no no no no It's the rattle and roll coming over So gather your boys and hold on This ain't a place to be hung Oh no no no no Gather your boys and hold on This ain't a place to be hung Oh no no no no It's the rattle and roll coming over For it's the rattle and roll
