[00:00:16] Haah

[00:00:25] Brother livin' in a cell

[00:00:28] Doin' time in a County jail now

[00:00:32] You might think his life is hell

[00:00:35] But he told me first room

[00:00:37] He ever had to himself

[00:00:41] Waitin' for the axe to fall

[00:00:45] Sometimes lord I think that's all

[00:00:48] When you're head is on a block

[00:00:50] Ain't no way for it to stop

[00:00:53] You're waitin' for the axe to fall

[00:01:14] Brother served in viet nam and

[00:01:18] Found out no one gives a damn

[00:01:21] See

[00:01:22] Agent orange fell on his camp

[00:01:24] But everybody went deaf

[00:01:26] Brother turned looking for uncle Sam

[00:01:30] Waiting for the axe to fall

[00:01:34] Sometimes lord I think that's all

[00:01:38] When your head is in the noose

[00:01:39] And won't nobody turn you loose

[00:01:42] You're waiting for the axe to fall

[00:02:18] Sister on the welfare line

[00:02:22] Examining the threads of her life

[00:02:26] She never thought

[00:02:27] She'd be cheatin' and lyin'

[00:02:30] Makin' sure her

[00:02:31] And her kids survive

[00:02:33] It's so much better

[00:02:34] Waitin' for the axe to fall

[00:02:38] And sometimes lord I think that's all

[00:02:42] When you're head is on the block

[00:02:44] And ain't no way trying to stop

[00:02:47] You're waitin' for the axe to fall

[00:03:08] Last night grandma should got shook

[00:03:11] 'Cause someone took her pocketbook

[00:03:16] She ain't safe in the neighborhood

[00:03:19] 'Cause too many youngin's up to no good

[00:03:22] They're say can tight

[00:03:24] Waitin' for the axe to fall

[00:03:27] And sometimes lord I think that's all

[00:03:31] When your head is in the noose

[00:03:33] And won't nobody turn you loose

[00:03:36] You're waitin' for the axe to fall

[00:03:39] See you like to waitin'

[00:03:41] Feel just like waitin'

[00:03:43] See you like to waitin'

[00:03:45] Everybody waitin'

[00:03:47] See you like to waitin'

[00:03:49] Feel you like to waitin'

[00:03:51] See you like to

[00:03:52] See you like to

[00:03:53] Waitin' and waitin'

[00:03:55] And waitin' say

[00:03:56] Waitin' for the axe to fall

[00:04:00] And sometimes lord I think that's all

[00:04:04] 'Cause when your head is on the block

[00:04:06] And ain't no way trying to stop

[00:04:08] You're waitin' for the axe to fall

[00:04:12] See you like to waitin'

[00:04:14] Everybody waitin'

[00:04:16] Never standin' waitin'

[00:04:18] Stand alone in waitin'

[00:04:33] And sometimes lord I think that's all

[00:04:36] 'Cause when your head is in the noose

[00:04:38] And won't nobody turn you loose

[00:04:41] You're waitin' for the axe to fall
