This is the truth of it
Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring
And that was damn near the death of us all
Look at us now, busted up and everyone talking about hard rain
But we've learned, by the dust of 'em all, Bartertown's learned
Now, when men get to fighting, it happens here, and it finishes here
Two men enter, one man leaves
Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls
Dying time's here
Killing
This is the truth of it
Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring
And that was damn near the death of us all
Look at us now, busted up and everyone talking about hard rain
But we've learned, by the dust of 'em all, Bartertown's learned
