Lyrics

Who you shooting at, boy? Bonnie and Clyde?
Only children and fools waste bullets shooting what's already died
Been many a year since those pretty outlaws met their fate and their bloody destiny became our pride
Welcome to Gibsland, where violence is in our DNA and the law ain't on our side
Welcome home
So you've come back, boy
I knew you would
Destiny is calling you
Don't hesitate, boy, not for a moment
Chickens must come home to roost
Don't be afraid, boy, I'll be with you
I'll be right there holding your hand
Get what you came for
Do what you must
It's all part of a master plan
It's useless to resist the pull
Go where destiny takes you
It's brought you home, to end where you started
Back where your life began
Get what you came for
Do what you must
The story's etched into your hand
It's sweeter than the finest wine, the softest lover's touch
Reason is no use to us
Justice is but a fairy tale to make children good
Destiny writes the end
Ask Bonnie and Clyde
Gibsland is a hard place to live, a good place to die
He has to bleed
He has to die
There's no escape
And maybe the part of me I despise will die with him
