John Mellencamp - Rodeo Clown lyrics

Well there's blood on the hands of the rich politicians Red is the color of the sand and the sea Blood on the hands of an arrogant nation Who start all the bleeding over their policies So she blamed it all on whispering secrets She blamed it on the moon and the sky She thought she broke the back of the city She thought she thought she knew she had lied She changed direction with the gas fires burning Racing for protection what could she possibly find Children with no legs out on the highways crawling Looking for an angel but they ran out of time She had blood on her face so she had to get even She hemorrhaged and bled all over the land There's blood on the hands of those that keep silent Who won't count the bodies dead in the sand She changed direction with the gas fires burning Racing for protection what could she possibly find Children with no legs out on the highways crawling Looking for an angel but they ran out of time So you can feast on your stories but it won't stop the bleeding When the truth is found the houses surely fall down There's blood on their mouths of all lies and liars The bloody red eyes The bloody red eyes The bloody red eyes The bloody red eyes The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown She changed direction with the gas fires burning Racing for protection what could she possibly find Children with no legs out on the highways crawling Looking for an angel but they ran out of time Well, there's blood in the streets from the lies and liars The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown
