Shearwater - Whipping Boy lyrics

If I told you once, then I told you twice That I would have paid just about any price Just to see him jump, just to see him laugh I would have washed in the blood of an innocent man Let the whipping boy ride (x4) The boy says to the wolf, "You're gonna be my dog" The boy ties the wolf to a fence post The wolf says, "Boy, if you're gonna be my man Let's see how you fit in those britches" I found a river doesn't run to the sea I found a river through the dead lands I found a river been beaten by the sun But a river that never did surrender to the sands Let the whipping boy ride (x4)
