Jacob Burke - Knucklehead

Jacob’s dad was a Polish boy

On the streets in '42

He learned a lot in five short years what

Evil men can do

He moved out west in '53 to

Start a brand new life

With another young Polish orphan girl

He’d later call his wife

They made their home in old Montreal

And found a peace that wouldn’t last

His father died at the hands of those

Who defend a violent past

His mother raised her young boy alone

Into a young and angry man

With a vengeful heart he flew alone

To his father’s native land

He’s a true believer

Whether he’s right or whether he’s wrong

He’s a true believer

Whether he’s right or whether he’s wrong

He spent a year in Warsaw

Fighting on the streets

Then joined the party this young man

Came so far to beat

For the 27 fascist youth young Jacob

Sent to hell

He’ll spend another 27 years inside a cell

He’s a true believer

Whether he’s right or whether he’s wrong

He’s a true believer

Whether he’s right or whether he’s wrong
