Paul Kelly - The Lion and the Lamb lyrics

Some people like watching a lamb in a lion's den They want me to bow down my head and give in to the end They keep on singing the same old song They got the tune right but the words are all wrong Imagine their surprise when they see how I shed my skin I run with the pack but my kicks I get on my own In the cold blooded old time the seeds to the blooms were sown I nursed every sting, every prick and I know every dirty little trick From the downtown alley all the way to the hilltop home Nobody, I'd say, nobody, nobody's gonna touch me now Nobody's gonna touch me now One of these days the lion will lie down with the lamb They say milk and honey will flow all through the land The blood covered butcher will lay down his knife And take to the streets with the drum and the fife But between you and me don't count on it anytime soon Nobody, I'd say, nobody, nobody's gonna touch me now Nobody's gonna touch me now Nobody's gonna touch me now Nobody's gonna touch me now Nobody's gonna touch me now ...
