Maverick and Paldin went gunnin for the new man in the black hat.
When all the smoke cleared there were bodies on the ground.
The hired guns had done their job in no time flat.
Big Railroads paid the killers and bought drinks all around.

Town folk were told he had to die, his dream caused a crisis.
Then the ranchers lost their farms to the bank.
And the rail road store doubled their prices.
Those dangerous dreams were whispered as his body stank.

It was 40 years before another dreamer came to town.
By now the water was sour and crops died in the field.
This time the church and bosses put him down.
And another 40 years went by until the town had healed.


refrain:
They say you don't need to kill a man
all you need is delay
Dreamers try to help the best they can
while killers are taught to pray.
