Scratching Peace Symbols In Your Tombstone Lyrics

First they made him sleep in the closet (x2)

Then they made him sleep out in the hall

When I got a little bit older

They made me sleep against the wall

Then, I was so young and tender

But now I'm oh, so big and hard

Now that I'm a little bit older

I got's ta sleep's in ma backyard
(Family)

When he was just about three

All the girls would drive to see

Who could hold him on their knee

But now its plain to see

Now that he's big and hard

He's got to stay in the back yard

He had a job and got fired

slept on the ground so hard

and I'm so sure some day

Some pretty girl will come his way

and then his mama will say,

“Boy, with girls, you don't play!”

And it's so plain to see

What his mama wants him to be

Locked up and not to be free

To play with you and me

Now I sleep out in the graveyard

Seems my mama up and died

and now I just lay around her tombstone

Scratching peace symbols in the si - - - - - - - de.
(Chorus)

I'm scratching peace symbols in your tombstone

I'm scratching peace symbols in your mind

I'd like to know how'd you get there (x2)
Can't you hear, oh can't you hear up here, as I'm

(repeat chorus)
The only thing you know is what they told you

The only thing you know is what they said

and showed you by the ashes

that all that was true and real is dead, but I'm

(repeat chorus (variation))

I'd like to know how'd you get here

I'd like to know, I'd like to know how'd you get here
My mama told me just what she said

Stay away from girls and my bed

But the woman with the thoughts is all dead

Cause there's a cloud of lead in our head
I'm scratchin' / tombstone

I'm scratching / mind
