Versuri 12. 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 livin' 
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 
 
Now everybody 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, Lord, if we're gonna stay alive 
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven 
See the red flame light the sky 
Burn down the mission, Lord, if we're gonna stay alive 
It's our only chance of livin' 
Take all you need to live inside
