Unusual Heroes Lyrics

Outlaw Jesse James and his wild western gang

Big plans to rape the bank right to the core

The band rode right into town like a twister from hell

That double cross put Jesse in the cold, dark ground

Robert Ford shot old Jesse down

That no good dirty, little coward really had it coming

Five grand and a decade to settle the score

Saloon doors were thrown wide open just like Robert's chest

When you take an ace at least look him square in the face

He got a one way ticket

Two barrel damn disgrace

Robin Hood and the merry men lived in Nottingham

Inside of Sherwood Forest, under that great oak

The archers had their own code and they were masters of the sword

Stole from the rich and gave it all to the poor

They gave every piece to the poor

What makes a rebel a hero in this world of ours

Blackbeard or the dirty devil down at the crossroads

Or is it immorality that we all love to hate

What binds these bandits isn't by the bullet or the blade

Loved or feared

Maybe it's honour and fame
