Beat Happening - Hangman lyrics

There's a little village near
The center of Spain
Where a jealous brother killed
A cold-blooded Cain
They had a dirty job that had to be done
When they asked for takers
There was only one
Cause, I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman
I'm the hangman, hangman, hangman

I wake at four, wash my hands
Drink to my god, atone for my sins
Walk out to the yard, test the rope
When the dawn breaks, I start to work
Cause, I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman
I'm the hangman cause I'm the hangman
Hangman make peace with yourself
Cause I'm the hangman
Hangman, yeah, the hangman, hangman

Feel no guilt, I feel no shame
I return to my family at the end of the day
Sit and watch my son while he's out at play
When he grows to be a man
He'll be just like me
He'll be a hangman i'm the hangman, yeah
Hangman i'm the hangman, hangman
