    [Verse 1:]
    For want of a nail the shoe was lost
    For want of a shoe the horse was lost
    For want of a horse the rider was lost
    For want of a rider the battle was lost
    For want of a battle the kingdom was lost
    And all for the want of a horse shoe
    There is a hole in front of the shovel, shovel in front of the brawn
    Six billion gorillas for whom the graves yawn
    Each withered his mule-ish days to choose his tool of trade
    Dueling blades that cue the cruel charade and fuel the flames
    If you would clue the crew into the civil
    Just get the food and land like you the man who flew the coop over the pit-bulls
    Dash back flashy to compassionate nano police
    Sat beneath an avalanche and jagged and nautical seas
    And I would stop the violence more than I was Pontius Pilate
    Cops and robbers riot by the vows of noxious sirens
    A is gullible he figure all man equal no brainer
    Take it his friends and neighbors didn't cater
    Moms raised the babies through a very church-y eighties
    Sunday mornings reinforced the waiting gates of Haties
    And he brazen but apparently infernal bound now
    For when a man had coughed recite his wrongs he wouldn't bow down
    The punishment should fit the reasons you must punish him
    Never puncture skin or pull the colored rugs from under them
    Two opposing mother ships shall not employ the gunner's deck
    Cause brotherhoods of public good do not employ the unctuous in you
    Observing how the giveth is disproportionate to the taketh away decide to maketh his day
    All the stoic odium glowing a coal holster
    When he coulda stood easily in the tub juggling toasters

    [Chorus:]
    No mountain too high
    No city too far
    No coma tonight
    No city tomorrow
    No fire too live
    No city too charred
    To treaty to sign
    No city to guard

    [Verse 2:]
    I pick the phone up with a grown-up mode approach
    Skin crawlin off the drawl and now it clawed the awkward tone up
    I'd known it wasn't roses but hoped it was less corrosive
    Coast in to the focus of the grossest diagnosis like
    Holmes, the barnicles that chew upon the flesh of man
    Have clued into suitor's capital to a beggars hand
    Comfortably, sung a stubborn legacy of gluttony
    With carnivores that burrow like hunters into the blood and meat
    Umm, what? !?
    The chinny chin up and the city picked her sinning pen up let her numb the spitting stigma
    Along came a spider sold her eggs to any buyer
    Now the shooter in back is six legs wider than the driver
    If you make no friends on the way to the top rung
    There is no secret handshake club I do not give a fuck
    But know the cancers make the olive branches obviously standard
    So when they extend from the yachts and mansions drop your cannons
    All kings hang em for the cliff side drip dry
    Will he clip to zip line or slip for his final dip dive
    If he live, will he survive the milligrams of middle ground
    They pump into the pinstripe pentagrams over tinsel town
    Or kill a man who trickled down the city with his scissors out as sickles
    Dipped in military hells bells and whistles
    Riders to the east
    Now the wild tribes
    Thank you for the peace on earth and mercy miled high

    [Chorus:]
    No mountain too high
    No city too far
    No coma tonight
    No city tomorrow
    No fire too live
    No city too charred
    To treaty to sign
    No city to guard

    And all for the want of a horse shoe
