Songtekst
Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, yeah
Woah, yeaha
Woah, yeaha
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, yeah
"You just better start sniffin' your
Own rank subjugation jack 'cause it's
Just you against your tattered libido,
The bank and the mortician, forever man
And it wouldn't be luck if you could
Get out of life alive"
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, woah, woah yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, woah yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, woah, oh yeah
