Burn Down The Mission

In the style of

Elton John

Lyrics

you tell me
there's an angel
in your tree
did he say he'd come
to call on me

for things are
gettin' desperate
in our home
livin' 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-a 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

ah ah ah ah ah ha

deep in the woods
the squirrels
are out today
my wife cried
when they came
to take me away yeah

but-a 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-a 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
