LYRICS
A little girl lost her world full of pain
He said it feels good she gave him her vein
The dope made her numb and numb felt like free
Until she came down, down, down to a new misery
A junkie a whore living for the next high.
Shed lie cheat and steal she forgot how to cry
Wide awake for two weeks shooting heroin then speed
When she killed in cold, cold blood all she felt was her need
Its an eye for an eye now youre gonna die
A tooth for a tooth its your moment of truth.
Theres no mercy here your stay is denied
Go on and pray, pray, pray you find Mercy in the sky
Alone in her cell no dope in her veins
The killer had become the little girl lost again
She fell to her knees she prayed she would die
On the cold cement floor she finally cried
And love came like the wind love whispered her name.
Love reached through and held her love lifted her pain.
15 years on death row her faith deeper each day
Her last words were I love you all
Good-bye, Karla Faye
Now its an eye for an eye, youre gonna die
A tooth for a tooth its your moment of truth
Theres no mercy here your stay is denied
You better pray, pray, pray you find Mercy in the sky")

LYRICS
Standing at Lincoln and 7th, Edson Cemetery in Lowell
The maple leaves are blazing like sparks flying off of God’s soul
Jack Kerouc is buried here he died a miserable man
Spokesman for his generation, more than the poet could stand
Rock and Roll lies, Rock and Roll lies
All that burn, burn, burn, burning killed Sal Paradise
Killed Janis and Jimmy, Kurt Elvis and Jim
I wish they were still singing I really miss them
Subterranean hipsters, the beatniks, the flower child
Every new wave creates customers making the record man smile
What’s left when the glory consumes you
And you can’t tell truth from a lie?
And the one thing you still believe in you must sell to whoever will buy
Rock and Roll lies, Rock and Roll lies
All that burn, burn, burn, burning killed Sal Paradise
Killed Janis and Jimmy, Kurt Elvis and Jim
I wish they were still singing I really miss them
An American flag in a port bottle sits right next to Jacks grave
On the Road is a Rock and Roll scripture from the land of the free and the brave
Rock and Roll lies, Rock and Roll lies
All that burn, burn, burn, burning killed Sal Paradise
Killed Janis and Jimmy, Kurt Elvis and Jim
I wish they were still singing I really miss them")
