Burn Down The Mission

Lyrics

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
 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
 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
