The buzzards turn impatiently, expecting I’ll be dead

Desert sun is burning high above, my shadow can't find shade

Each day, I see his evil eyes, the man who put me here
                                 F             Gm
See him when I shave my face, so guilty in the mirror
F                             Gm
Looking back disgusted with a hollow hateful stare
Gm
For seven weeks in county and for always, everywhere
