Rose Tattoo - Branded lyrics

(Anderson/Riley) Did you know I was a danger, did you know I was a threat I might even be a k**er, but they ain't pushed me that far yet I've been branded, branded I wear the mark of the slave on my head Branded, branded I know the feeling of the yoke on my neck Branded, branded I bear the scars of the lash on my back Branded, branded I've had enough and now I'm gonna fight back Gonna fight back Did you know I was a rebel, yes I've always been one out And though they tried so hard to k** me, you will always hear me shout I've been branded, branded I wear the mark of the slave on my head Branded, branded I know the feeling of the yoke on my neck Branded, branded I bear the scars of the lash on my back Branded, branded I've had enough and now I'm gonna fight back Because I need to fight back Yes...fight back Did you know I was a danger, did you know I was a threat I might even be a k**er, but they ain't pushed me that far yet Did you know I was a rebel, yes I've always been one out And though they tried so hard to k** me, you will always hear me shout 'Cause I've been branded, branded I wear the mark of the slave on my head Branded, branded I know the feeling of the yoke on my neck Branded, branded I bear the scars of the lash on my back Branded, branded I've had enough, I'm gonna fight back I'm gonna fight back Yes, 'cause they branded me They hunted me, they??? me They hunted me like an animal They branded me a slave They invaded my home They put a yoke around my neck They made me work...they beat me Like an animal They made me, they made me want to k** Just to be free They beat me, they took away my freedom They took away my dignity They tried to destroy my soul by breakin' my heart They tried to change what I believed By breakin' my very will to live Drove me, they hounded me I was beaten, I was driven I was thrown in jail for the things that I said I got a million thoughts runnin' in my head I got a million words, that my mouth has just got to say I gotta speak out, I gotta speak out I'm gonna reach out and touch your heart Before they tear us...tear us apart I gotta tell you about the lies I think I know why you cry
