Well I ain't looking for an indication
Apologies or a consolation
Pull them up and burn the roots
Kill their horses and steal their boots
Mmm yeah sweet revenge

Went to the river some years ago
And it didn't do much to save my soul
But I found out my saving grace
Is a little cold steel in a warm dark place
Mmm hey I got sweet revenge

There's no second chance
There's no half way
The first time you're sorry and the second time you pay
You got your prayers when all else fails
Yeah sweet revenge

Well my left eye know what my right eye sees
There's a line down that appears to me
Find the place and hide awhile
Let ‘em dance in the devil's fire
Mmm hey I got sweet revenge

I ain't looking for an indication
Apologies or a consolation
Mmm hey I got sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
