Flags by Time and Place

I'm gonna hang them soulless devils
From up on the state house
I've made my peace with it
Hope that they can go without
I'm gonna hang them soulless devils
From up on the state house
And when they meet St. Peter
May he cast them devils out

I'm gonna hang them soulless devils
In their luxury suites
While they were smiling, shaking hands
They were lying to me
As my mother lay in bed
We hoped and she prayed
They just vetoed the bill
Said the cost would be too great

I'm gonna hang them soulless devils
Off the ledge of their penthouse
Who never saw what I did
Who are starting to now
Who feel the fear metastasize
So deep in your bones
Tell me, doctor
Who will buy you your next summer home

I'm gonna hang them soulless devils
Bill collectors and the rest
While we were sitting Shiva
We had outstanding debts
They'd call twice a week
The dirt was still fresh
We gave all we could
They took what little there was left

I'm gonna hang them soulless devils
From up on the state house
And send them back to
The hell they came out
I'm gonna hang them soulless devils
From up on the state house
And show them what
Real loss is about
