Lyrics:

I don't know nothing 'bout nobody or no one
The whiskey keeps me talking till my money's all gone
The only soul I have is in these worn out shoes
I'm just another monkey that's on the juice
Now I got a new pair of boots, a rifle I can keep
A tattooed sacred heart, a pay check each week
I'm a fighter not a lover, a rolling stone
A girl I never met sends me letters from back home

Before the war
I was lost without a sign
Before the war
It was the devil all the time
Before the war
I was going out of my mind
Before the war

From cowboys and Indians to the pool halls and cinema
I played in the streets, I prayed in the bars
Now I'll march in time until I can't dance no more
You don't know what you lose, when you never had it before

Before the war
I was lost without a sign
Before the war
It was the devil all the time
Before the war
I was going out of my mind
Before the war

Now listen to me...
If you saw how I used to live, you would have died
Now I got a band of brothers fighting right by my side
I don't want this war party to come to an end
'Cause back there brutha I'm as good as dead

Before the war
I was lost without a sign
Before the war
It was the devil all the time
Before the war
I was going out of my mind
Before the war
