Cannonball -

Have you heard the latest?

Guess they’re on to me

Fiction, fact, the judgement’s passed

Trajectory complete

A game of reputation

Word of mouth to feed

Who made you the justice gun

The judge and the jury?

Words on the attack

The cannonballs you fire

Keep on loading barrels

You’re safe inside the boat

'Til your name is the skull they paint

Upon the ol' crossbones

Words on the attack

The cannonballs you fire

Light the fuse and laugh

And watch 'em fall into the sea below

I wanted to be friends not foes

Eye for eye

Knocked out my teeth

It’s the not the way that it’s gotta be

Words on the attack

The cannonballs you fire

Light the fuse and laugh

And watch 'em falling over

Why are your words on the attack?

The cannonballs you fire

Light the fuse and laugh

And watch 'em fall into the sea below

I wanted to be friends not foes

But you just like the smell of smoke
