Shearwater - Whipping Boy lyrics

If I told you once, then I told you twice
That I would have paid just about any price
Just to see him jump, just to see him laugh
I would have washed in the
Blood of an innocent man

Let the whipping boy ride

The boy says to the wolf
"You're gonna be my dog"
The boy ties the wolf to a fence post
The wolf says, "Boy
If you're gonna be my man
Let's see how you fit in those britches"

I found a river doesn't run to the sea
I found a river through the dead lands
I found a river been beaten by the sun
But a river that never did
Surrender to the sands

Let the whipping boy ride
