Mama Told Me Lyrics

I've been a decent man

I worked too damn long and hard to wash the blood from these hands

There comes a time you'll come to find when a man's gotta draw a line

They'll learn some way but not today so for now just let me say

Mama told me don't go lookin for trouble

It finds me every time why can't you see

Hold it in and the anger it starts to bubble

But oh you better not tread on me

Oh you better not tread on me

One bad night put me back in the hole

And I can feel the flames a-burnin up the lower I go

Tried to use the pen and it don't quite ring

When the sword in my hands feels so much better to swing

Oh you can't save my soul

Mama told me don't go lookin for trouble

It finds me every time why can't you see

Hold it in and the anger starts to bubble

But oh you better not tread on me

Mama told me don't go lookin for trouble

It finds me every time why can't you see

Hold it in and the anger starts to bubble

But oh you better not tread on me

Oh you better not tread on me
