The Chosen Ones - 2007 Remastered

I heard how all the lights went out in Memphis
 On the death night anniversary of the king
 The pretenders talking dirty in the palace
 But it doesn't have that old familiar ring
 I see there's been some changes in the valley
 All the renegades have finally settled down
 Now they worship in the temples of their rivals
 And desecrate the holy heart of town
 Can't you hear all those sweet voices singing
 Takin' care of the chosen ones
 Can't you hear all those mission bells ringin'
 Say a prayer for the chosen ones
 I read they're pourin' oil on troubled waters
 Yet they cast a giant shadow on the land
 Lets spend another night across the border
 And bury all our secrets in the sand
 Now they claim there is a message in the Bible
 They swear there is no master and his slave
 But the future's lookin' dim for the lonesome cowboy
 When the hand that rocks that cradle digs the grave
