Burn Down The Mission |
You tell me there’s an angel in your tree |
Did he say he’d come to call on me |
For things are getting desperate in our home |
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know |
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside |
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide |
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps |
It’s time we put the flame torch to their keep |
Burn down the mission |
If we’re gonna stay alive |
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven |
See the red flame light the sky |
Burn down the mission |
Burn it down to stay alive |
It’s our only chance of living |
Take all you need to live inside |
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today |
My wife cried when they came to take me away |
But what more could I do just to keep her warm |
Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls |
Bring your family down to the riverside |
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide |
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps |
It’s time we put the flame torch to their keep |
