Tell It to Jeremiah

I wasn't afraid of what you did
Nor was afraid of what you said
Just want to keep my dignity
And please just keep from misery

I'm going, going on my way
They try to stop the words I say
Death's name is written on my head
The dirty ground makes up my bed

You spoke some things so long ago
About some things I'll never know

Their ears are plugged I see it's so
They will not hear I want to go
I tried to keep from saying your name
But burning deep your name's a flame
