The Chosen Ones

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 ringI see theres 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 townCant you hear all those sweet voices singing

Takin care of the chosen ones?

Cant you hear all those mission bells ringin?

Say a prayer for the chosen onesI read theyre 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
