That's what I'm counting on

Before the dam goes up at the foot of the sea 
               E                             F#m 
Before the new wing of the prison ribbon ceremony

Before the star of the morning comes looking for me

I would like to abuse my lungs

Momma they've just begun

Before they put me to work in a government camp 
                  E                                         F#m 
Before they do my face up like a corpse and say "get up and dance" 
           E                                   F#m         
Before the beast comes looking for last year's rent
