Clutch - Abraham Lincoln Lyrics






Oh Abraham Lincoln, carried across the street.
Oh Abraham Lincoln, carried across the street.
The assassin, the coward,
shot him in the head.
The assassin, the serpent,
Struck him then he fled.

Oh many many many people, gather to hear the word.
Oh many many many people, tremble at what they've heard.
Snickering, drunkards, from cover of dark.
Treachery's their master,
murder is their heart.

From the table, rips his chair.
Cross the people on the stairs.
Watch the limbs running for.
All across a empty bar.

Oh Abraham Lincoln, buried him in his grave.
Oh Abraham Lincoln, buried him in his grave.
The assassin, the coward, no grave for you.
The assassin, the actor, no cross for you.

From the table, rips his chair.
Cross the people on the stairs.
Watch the limbs running for.
All across a empty bar.

Clutch Abraham Lincoln Comments
  1. P.... ....

    Everyone keeps talking about riffs.....what about the amazing vocals?

  2. P.... D....

    Tuuune!!!

  3. C.... L....

    I would be very worried as IT IS GOING TO BE BIBLICAL.

  4. C.... L....

    kek
    worried?

  5. j.... b....

    I would like to thank beavis and butthead for playing a shogun named Marcus. Otherwise I may never have found clutch and my life would be incomplete.

  6. J.... D....

    What a riff man, what a riff!!

  7. I.... t....

    Best song to jam in the shower while drinking beer, perfect

  8. P.... 1....

    Abraham Lincoln would kick a LIBERALS ass today.and the REPUBLICANS are going to kick it again.including liberal bands.

    P.... 1....

    Cut yourself loose from that Talmudic web we’ve all been stuck in at one point in time.

  9. T.... *....

    Do I hear a billion!?!?

  10. P.... F....

    Clutch is probably the greatest underground rock band of all time...it's like they do everything the way it should be done

  11. C.... C....

    Most underrated band of all time. Gonna c them on Dec 31th

  12. S.... D....

    Clutch has never fallen into the trap as most bands -- everything starts sounding.the same With Clutch, each song has it's own signature. No two songs match.

  13. W.... R....

    Lots of negativity I'm a monster of 60/70 Rock this is as badass as anything so if you don't like fuckyourself n listen somewhere else🎸🎸🔉🔉👊🏻👊🏻

  14. K.... ....

    I think the lyrics are wrong online for this. Going by Fallon's comments on the writing of the song I hear:
    From the temple, grips his chair, watch the people at the stairs, watch the leaves rot and fall, all across the empty mall"

    K.... ....

    I mean, those lyrics make more sense for the subject matter

  15. K.... ....

    So powerful. Can someone make a video of this song with historical photos etc. That would make it even more awesome.

  16. C.... B....

    The most metal song about a president, ever.

    C.... B....

    Not about a president by today's standards but how about Genghis Khan by iron maiden?

  17. M.... M....

    Best in the business.

  18. N.... U....

    extraordinary and brilliant. Let see in willing of Allah how unique will they remain in history of music/art (/Karma). Thanx & ciao evry body.

  19. n.... ....

    Just seen them tonight in Toronto ,great fucking band !

  20. B.... D....

    clutch Fucking rule

  21. f.... g....

    Awesome band fuck yeah!

    f.... g....

    ROCK ON BRO !!

  22. M.... P....

    thanks for the upload.... whats up with all the empty sound at the end of every track?

    M.... P....

    +OldManSlippery
    are you stupid? the description literally says why the extra minutes are there: an error on the uploader's part.


    and if you're really so stupid as to think scanning for licensed music is done by looking at total video length, you're a lost cause.

    M.... P....

    oh my bad so sorry i did not read the description because I WAS ROCKING MY MOTHER FUCKING FACE OFF TO CLUTCH!! do a better job next time.

  23. s.... ....

    treachery is their master , murder is their art!!! damn man this song gave me chills. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

    s.... ....

    I saw the pillow he died on
    ..Clutch delivered

  24. N.... N....

    Marianno. As a mason, I've never sold my soul. As for you conspiracy nuts. Ask 1 2 be 1. You'll find out, even our secrets are benevolent. Those who besmirch us, know nothing. Fear of the unknown is legitimate, but fear and hate is stupid.

    N.... N....

    why yall kill kennedy then? and his brother? and his son? and mlk? answer the question.. why only 3rd degree or higher presidents after yall killed mr. kennedy? your 600 year old grandma sucks.

    N.... N....

    The real secret of the Masons is a quickie saw with a diamond blade.

  25. A.... S....

    illuminati

  26. n.... 6....

    Holy shit those drums is bad ass.

    n.... 6....

    holy shit those drums is bad.

    n.... 6....

    numb3r 6 Holy shit those drums is bad Ass.

  27. M.... U....

    this is kick ass. best band going.

    M.... U....

    Bad as Hell CLUTCH is!
    ENOUGH SAID!

  28. d.... ....

    I have the body of John Wilkes Booth part 2?

    d.... ....

    Which part? top or bottom?

    d.... ....

    I think body of john Wilkes booth might be a sequel to this son, due to the fact that john wilkes booth fled and was killed some miles away in a barn. So says the us government.

    d.... ....

    dirtshaman yeah I would like that

    d.... ....

    Today, you made a sick discovery

  29. F.... R....

    I simply love this song! It sums up all the things I dig about Clutch - Badass riffing, badass basstone, sick drumming, awesome lyrics and singing all held together by THE groooooooove! They reign!

    F.... R....

    It was only fitting....after finding the body of John Wilkes Boothe

  30. G.... ....

    Clutch...the best stoner/metal/rock band ever? 

    They are awesome whatever genre they fit into.

    G.... ....

    I'd say biker music haha they're their own genre. Clutch is a genre.

    G.... ....

    +MrThemathgeek37 /Blues

    G.... ....

    Though they're a pretty unique band I put 'em in the stoner category, along with Orange Goblin.

    G.... ....

    Geek37 ever? I don't know sublime and quotsa are tough competition in that category

    G.... ....

    @Pro Snagger Exactly! genre is Clutch and no one does it better

  31. 4.... ....

    that snare drum is the SHIT!

    4.... ....

    that snare drum is SHIT!

  32. T.... ....

    Saw this live a couple nights ago; Fallon played rhythm on it as well, and it sounded fucking amazing, even better than the album version.

  33. M.... U....

    they took my shit at a the last concert I went to- 3 jays. assholes.

  34. M.... U....

    the assassin the coward. bad ass . I fuc#i@g love- CLUTCH.

  35. M.... M....

    jesus fucking christ take your complaining somewhere else!

    M.... M....

    Please, don't take the Lord's name in vain. Thanks.

  36. j.... ....

    i know right, sounds pretty arrogant when they say shit like that

  37. G.... P....

    You are right on that but music is not about true musicians.. it's about fans.. want it or not, mainstream music reflect the audience and as you see there is no musical education..

  38. A.... ....

    Love that nasty, bluesy feel these guys have. At 1:27, you can practically feel the mud running through your veins.

  39. D.... C....

    Not sure what you guys mean by simplicity. Sure the main riff doesn't need a whole lot of skill to play, but the way the music is layered and composed is anything but simple.

  40. J.... H....

    Speak for yourself, self-serving little "musician". Nothing makes you less credible than contradicting yourself by saying Clutch is simple and then advertising Queens Of The Stone Age, a band that also plays quite simple (but equally creative) Rock music.

    Getting over yourself could be the best decision you'll ever make. I recommend it.

  41. W.... ....

    I'll admit their music is usually simple, but it's really on-point and Neil has some GREAT lyrics. This is a bit of a bad example but a lot of the songs have some great wordplay going for them!

  42. T.... ....

    A clutch fan and a Big Lebowski fan. You cant go wrong with that combo!

    T.... ....

    Well that's just like...your opinion man.

    T.... ....

    @112steinway Shut the fuck up Donnie

    T.... ....

    Nothing is fucked here dude
    Nothing is fucked

  43. N.... F....

    david gilmoure agrees

  44. T.... M....

    I think youre completely misunderstanding the whole "to each his own" type of thing. Get fucked

  45. 8.... ....

    good shit!

  46. A.... A....

    Stop listening to bullshit radio friendly music...

  47. M.... S....

    Clutch played a 3 hr set at CTO few years back for twenty bones...got kicked out after the first set cuz a buddy lit up....he still owes that me 20 bucks.

    M.... S....

    Sucks, the Clutch concert I was at had tight security too... Still managed to light up but it just didn't seem right to be like that at Clutch/CoC!

  48. F.... ....

    >>Overly simple
    >>QotSA
    >>QotSA isn't simple music

    I really hope you don't think QotSA is muscally complex

  49. p.... ....

    Or just desert/stoner.

  50. s.... b....

    The nu age of the 70`s man Gibbo`s playing ,and yer bk there , Big Love x

  51. 3.... ....

    This band only sings about the GRAND ARCANUM,While they are a kick ass rock band they have nothing in common with me

  52. s.... ....

    there is no better music

  53. g.... ....

    you need to listen to better music...

  54. t.... ....

    do you see the dislike bar? I don't ether

  55. p.... ....

    That first one is an opinion and the other two are simply false.

  56. M.... ....

    Fuck the fucking Eagles too man!

  57. C.... P....

    If every band would have equal success to their quality Clutch would rule the fucking world. Cheers brother, rock out!

  58. G.... ....

    i have a new favorite band! Why have i not heard of these guys?

  59. g.... ....

    Abraham Lincoln was the coward, assassin, and actor..

    g.... ....

    Fuck off and eat shit you racist bitch.

    g.... ....

    @Donovan Barrett Lincoln was a tyrant.

  60. I.... ....

    It really bothers me when musicians say they can't listen to simple stuff. Sometimes simple is better.

  61. s.... ....

    Hey now, just because somebody said something dumb about Clutch doesn't mean you should go bashing Megadeth. They're both great and completely unrelated bands.

  62. m.... k....

    dude u r totally right!!!The Regulator is epic!!!!fuck the rest baby!!!!

  63. N.... ....

    Sorry man but I've been a musician for a long time and I still find this shit gold.

  64. F.... ....

    I was looking up the lyrics to this song, and I was confused when I saw that it was "the serpent", and not "sonbitch".

  65. b.... j....

    Theres a reason Kirk Hammett left Exodus, they were to heavy and badass for him and they wouldnt let him suck their dicks like Lars and James do, so he called up Lars and Lars said "sure come on out, give us a round of blow jobs and try your best to play this Future hit song Dave wrote called Seek and Destroy, and after you swallow all of our sperm, play this other great song Dave wrote called The four horsemen". True story i swear.

  66. N.... ....

    hey man, that's excessive.

  67. S.... ....

    grind-rock-blues-metal

  68. N.... ....

    i describe clutch as psychedelic country rock. best i could come up with.

  69. D.... ....

    Your opinion sucks, but that's just my opinion.

  70. M.... M....

    To be technical, the genre would be Stoner/Blues/Rock.

  71. Q.... H....

    or because he was always drunk maybe?

  72. M.... ....

    shits badass....u dont like tough sheet

  73. C.... ....

    I love Megadeth, and I like Clutch a lot. Why you gotta hate on others' music?

  74. T.... t....

    thay soud hawe put it on to the itro of the movie abraham linkon ampire killer.

  75. N.... ....

    Chill? I'm chill. I've been chill for the past 7 months since I posted that comment, on my own video. Just because I don't share your opinion doesn't mean I need to "chill the fuck out." How about you chill, brah?

    Also, I respectfully disagree.

  76. r.... e....

    pure rock fury

  77. T.... B....

    Why all the hate for Megadeth?

  78. D.... ....

    Fuck Megadeth. There's a reason Dave Mustaine couldn't stay in Metallica: he sucks!

  79. m.... ....

    G.O.D.S

  80. M.... ....

    Absolutely! Clutch plays Rock pure and simple...It's a matter of fact!!!

  81. T.... ....

    One can like Megadeath and one can like Clutch. Also, one can like both.
    Comparing bands is pointless and vexing.

  82. b.... ....

    This is good...But Megadeth fucking rules.

  83. l.... ....

    It's fair to say Clutch's riffs may not be particularly complicated, but they nonetheless do what they do -very- goddamn well. What they do is well constructed songs with fantastic lyrics and a surprising amount of symbolism.

  84. 1.... ....

    What?!?!?!?! All I ever listen to is Clutch and Megadeth!

  85. c.... X....

    FUCK MEGADETH!!!!

  86. W.... ....

    I grew up in Rome. Wish they had played when I still lived up there.

  87. I.... B....

    As a musician I find that plainly silly to find Clutch boring. Have you listened to the lyrics that Fallon puts out. Absolutely fantastic! I'll admit Strange Cousins isn't my favourite album, but check out the rest of them.

    Also, as someone else said, Fuck Megadeth.

  88. M.... ....

    Its interesting...I listening Clutch, but don't even hear of Megadeth.But I love this band.

  89. G.... B....

    Dude, I'm a muscian, and I think this shit kicks ass. It's simple blues riffs, but it feels good to the soul. Blues is a beautiful thing, my brother, don't judge it, feel it. The roll of the drum, the whine of the guitar, the thump of the bass. It's simple, it's beautiful, and it's perfect.

  90. 1.... ....

    Clutch are GODS

  91. C.... ....

    People who hate Clutch can suck it

  92. N.... ....

    i saw Clutch in Syracuse a few months ago and when they played this i had to laugh to my friend: "I was the one who put this shit on youtube when it came out! They don't even know it!"

  93. C.... ....

    Hey man, as much as I agree with you, I love Megadeth :P

  94. T.... ....

    FYI bonetap, don't use word's like overly simple and musician's ear in a same sentence. I'm a musician and to me. Their simplicity is the genius. Overly complicated is a problem too to some. What you have expressed here is your OPINION, not a fact of life about musicians in general.

  95. N.... ....

    this is a very minimalist kinda song but not all of their stuff sounds like this. have you ever heard The Regulator? Or anything off Robot Hive Exodus? Or their self titled album? Also, fuck Megadeth.

  96. B.... T....

    Clutch is not terrible. It's just SO FUCKING BORING. It's so overly simple that to a musician's ear, it's almost sickening to listen to. I've tried to like this band so many times over the years, but at some point I just have to admit that I am averse to their sound. You want a band in a similar vein that REALLY fucking rocks, check out The Dead Weather, Queens of the Stone Age... or just kick it up a notch and listen to some fucking Megadeth. Either way, I like to say fuck alot so FUCK!!

  97. D.... L....

    Preach brother. Amen, amen.

  98. r.... d....

    @gh3tt0bl4st4 Dude everything gets better when your drunk thats why people drink. Ugly chicks get prettier, fat chicks get skinnier! And mediocore songs sound like stairway to heaven. Tell ya what, go get hammered and listen to Starland Vocal Band's "sky rockets in flight". I guarentee you'll sing along.

  99. n.... ....

    @ballzunhairy fffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggggggg...

  100. r.... d....

    @nonicknamekid2010 Well its just my opinion, i can except yours. But one time i was in this bar with my friend todd when an inebriated homosexual male came burshing through the door to play this inparticular clutch song 39 times on the jukebox before whisking away our male bartender for a little midnight climax. I was left feeling slightly disgusted and cofused. Why would clutch do this to me? Why? I bet they were listening to this song during and after the hard yet sensual night of ass play.
