Lyrics The Old West - Five Iron Frenzy

The Old West

Some cowboys were a ridin',
Ridin' on the range,
The grass was overgrazed there,
And spotted like some mange.
The buffalo they all were dead there
The trees they all were through,
And if they saw some Injuns,
They would kill them too.
West or bust in God we trust,
Let’s rape, let’s kill, let’s steal.
We can almost justify anything we feel.
I’m climbin up that ladder now,
More brownie points for me.
I’ll work my way to Jesus, just you wait and see.
Said one cowboy to another,
I think it would be nice,
If we could take the Injuns,
and convert them all to Christ.
See they are all disgusting,
And bringing me great pain,
And if they don’t believe me,
We’ll put a bullet in their brains.
West or bust in God we trust,
Let’s rape, let’s kill, let’s steal.
We can almost justify anything we feel.
I’m climbin up that ladder now,
More brownie points for me.
I’ll work my way to Jesus, just you wait and see.
I am always shouting,
When I go outside,
That people should repent now,
Or they are going to die.
My motives are all selfish,
I’m a cannon brimmed with powder,
If people don’t believe me,
I’ll just beat them, and yell louder.
West or bust in God we trust,
Let’s rape, let’s kill, let’s steal.
We can almost justify anything we feel.
I’m climbin up that ladder now,
More brownie points for me.
I’ll work my way to Jesus, just you wait and see.
