Burn Down The Misson

MaisYou tell me there's an angel in your treeDid he say he'd come to call on meFor things are getting desperate in our homeLiving in the parish of the restless folks I knowEverybody now bring your family down to the riversideLook to the east to see where the fat stock hideBehind four walls of stone the rich man sleepsIt's time we put the flame torch to their keepBurn down the missionIf we're gonna stay aliveWatch the black smoke fly to heavenSee the red flame light the skyBurn down the missionBurn it down to stay aliveIt's our only chance of livingTake all you need to live insideDeep in the woods the squirrels are out todayMy wife cried when they came to take me awayBut what more could I do just to keep her warmThan burn burn burn burn down the mission wallsEverybody now bring your family down to the riversideLook to the east to see where the fat stock hideBehind four walls of stone the rich man sleepsIt's time we put the flame torch to their keepBurn down the missionIf we're gonna stay aliveWatch the black smoke fly to heavenSee the red flame light the skyBurn down the missionBurn it down to stay aliveIt's our only chance of livingTake all you need to live inside
