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 |
