Select language to translate this lyric
I stone your preachers and your Palestine laws
I burn your temples and your makeshift gods
Letâs go, letâs go and mess up this town
Tear buildings to the parched ground
Wait now hold on a minute
Iâve got something to say
I tortured peasants in my cut-throat days
And murdered men on this grief-stricken land
Take me by your strong hand
And when the people are dragging you down
You keep on laughing as they kick you around
Who, who do you say I am
I say youâre Lightning Paul
The ballad of a haunted man
Hard sell seduction only gets in my way
Iâve got a method that I know wonât fail
And donât defend those that donât understand
No, string âem up and let âem hang
Wait now hold on a minute
Iâve got something to say
I beg forgiveness for my cut-throat days
And Iâm kissed off with the state that Iâm in
So give me all that faith brings
And when the people are dragging you down
You keep on laughing as they kick you around
Who, who do you say I am
I say youâre Lightning Paul
The ballad of a haunted man
