So I scouted ahead to find a friendly place
Where we can spend the night and keep our horses safe
But what I saw scared the hell out of me
We best keep movin’ on, no sanctuary
Speakin’ in tongues, and standin’ in line
To get a good view of the hangman’s crime
Flyin’ a flag you don’t want to see
We best keep movin’ on, no sanctuary
Cause I don’t wanna die in this backwards town
We’d better hit the county line before the sun goes down
It’s a brave new world, It’s a strange frontier
But the people scare me more than the wildlife here
They might hang you for the color of your skin
They might burn her at the stake for “the wages of sin”
With a bible and a beastly grin
They might drown me for a faith that I can’t believe in
Repent of your sins and turn the other cheek”
Slogans that they shout while they prey on the weak
We’ve seen this before, it ain’t justice they seek
We best keep movin’ on, no sanctuary
Keep movin' on…
No sanctuary
