Faye Tucker/Sister (Reprise)/Philosophy Of Loss

on the night they killed faye tucker
 i was gambling away my last dime
 yeah well i pulled down the lever
 and i sent up a prayer
 that my luck would not be denied
 my luck would not be denied
 so roll out the head of faye tucker
 yeah well never you mind what they say
 well you may be reborn
 but it's all just for scorn
 and that's what you'll take to the grave
 that's what you'll take to the grave
 well the minister wants you to live now
 and the governor wants you to fry
 and whatever it was that you thought might occur
 well they got something else on their minds
 they got something else on their minds
 if you live they gonna make you a campaigner
 (if you live they gonna make you a campaigner)
 if you die they gonna make you a grave
 (if you die they gonna make you a grave)
 either way it goes down
 (either way it goes down)
 your life's not your own
 and that's why killin' don't pay
 (hey your life's not your own)
 that's why killin' don't pay
 oh oh oh oh oh
