Heads or Tails Songtext
von El Pino and the Volunteers

I saw a man flipping a coin
Then he left
Just like he left before
Well people come and people go
Some walk up and some walk down that road
This guy just stopped to give me some advice
He stopped to tell
"This country has gone to Hell"

He said: "Man, you're looking rather pale
It's either/or, it's either heads or tails
For you there's a way out of here as well
I can see you gave it a try
You plowed their fields
You tried to walk that line


It's time you should be running from your crime
Break those chains
I think you've done your time"

'Cause it gets clear
When the smiles begin to fade
And the smoke begins to rise
When the blood begins to stain
It gets clear
When the snow begins to melt
And the river's running high
Seems we're running out of time

I should work this out some time
Guess I'll leave
Just like I've left before

'Cause I've got nothing here to lose
Nothing fancy just my wooden shoes
I'll wear them as I'm walking from my home
So long
I'll leave what I've become
