[Verse 1]
Rob a train belonging to a guy Cornwall
He heard the news, he did not like it at all
Hired Pinkerton to track us down
Forcing our gang to become nomadic
Needless to say we were frantic
After a violent bank heist in Valentine
Our loose knot of lives quickly became untied
John's son Jack was kidnapped, given to Bronte
Used Jack as leverage to make us all pay, Dutch refused to obey


[Chorus]
We got shit on our plates, but we can solve 'em
For 1899, just first-world problems
We all must stick together, not lose our shit if we are to survive


[Verse 2]
John goes to jail while we sail off to Cuba
The ship sinks, we get stranded on Guarma
A revolution starts and we escape back home
Dutch seems really off, he's more violent-prone
His sense of humanity's gone

[Chorus]
We got shit on our plates, but we can solve 'em
For 1899, just first-world problems
We all must stick together, not lose our shit if we are to survive

[Verse 3]
Rescued John and begged him to leave
Start an honest life with his family
I have tuberculosis, will die watching the sun rise
Dutch went nuts, but was no bad guy
It was Micah who served the shit sty
One day Dutch will double-cross Micah, John'll finish him

[Chorus]
We got shit on our plates, but we can solve 'em
For 1899, just first-world problems
We all must stick together, not lose our shit if we are to survive
