about

"Chopping Block" is a story song about mercy and the people who don't deserve it.

lyrics

A worker’s day, Is never done, Sun goes down, And the work goes on, No peace I find, In my whole life
Gonna make my way to the river and get some peace tonight

Going down to the river, Gonna go there today, Going shed my clothes and wash my troubles away
Going down to the river, Gonna find me a rock, Gonna take my head and lay it down on the chopping block

Who was your poppa?
Who was your ma?
Why did they have you?
Were they drinkin' and not thinkin'?

What did you leave us?
What was your mark?
Why did you bother?
Were you envious of the rest of us?

I want you to pay for all you got
I want your head on the chopping block
Chopping block

You accomplished nothing
Embarrassing at best
You stole from the hungry
And gave nothing, you gave nothing

Rode on your high horse
Looked down on most
Hands begged for mercy
Did you not see? Did you not see?

I want you to pay for all you got
I want your head on the chopping block
Chopping block

Sleepin' on your deathbed
Waiting for the dark
Praying to the ceiling
For forgiveness, are you serious?

If there is a heaven
Why should you get in?
Your hands beg for mercy
Why should they see? Why should they see?

I want you to pay for all you got
I want your head on the chopping block
Chopping block

I want you to pay for all you got
I want your head on the chopping block
Chopping block
