| Forefather pointed to kingdom come
|
| Sadly told his only son
|
| Just be careful what you do
|
| It all comes back on you.
|
| False witness spread the news
|
| Somebody’s gonna lose
|
| Either she or me or you,
|
| Nothing we can do.
|
| Don’t you say a word
|
| Or reveal a thing you’ve learned
|
| Time will tell you well
|
| If you truly, truly fell
|
| Tarred and feathered, yea!
|
| Thistled and thorned,
|
| One or the other
|
| He kindly warned.
|
| Now you look out the window tell me
|
| What do you see?
|
| I see a golden calf pointing
|
| Back at me.
|
| I been sitting in here for so darn long
|
| Waitin' for the end to come along.
|
| Holy coaster’s on the brink
|
| Take a chance, swim or sink.
|
| False witness, cast an evil eye
|
| said I cannot tell a lie,
|
| Haints and saints don’t bother me
|
| I’m not alone you see. |
