Lyrics for 40,000 Headmen - Live

40, 000 headmen couldn't make me change my mind If I had to take my choice between the dead men and the blind I know just where my feet should go And that's enough for me So I turned around and knocked them down And walked across the sea Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I saw Three small ships a-sailin' off towards a distant shore So lightin' up a cigarette, I followed in pursuit And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed the loot
