Forefather pointed to the kingdom come
Sadly told his only son
"Just be careful what you do
It all comes back on you"
False witness, spread the news
Somebody's gonna lose
Either he or me or you
And there's nothing we can do
So don't you say a word
Or reveal a thing you heard
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell
Tarred and feathered, yeah thistles and thorns
One or the other, he kindly warned
Now you look out the window, tell me what do you see?
I see a golden calf pointing back at me
Well I've been sitting in here for so damn long
Waiting for the end to come along
Holy roaster on the brink
Take a choice, swim or sink
Tarred and feathered, yeah thistles and thorns
One or the other, he kindly warned
Now you look out the window, tell me what do you see?
I see a golden calf pointing back at me
Well I've been sitting in here for so damn long
Waiting for the end to come along
Holy roaster on the brink
Take a choice, swim or sink
False witness, cast an evil eye
Said "I cannot tell a lie
Haints and saints don't bother me
I'm not alone, you see"
Well I've been sitting in here for so damn long
Waiting for the end to come along
Holy roaster on the brink
Take a choice, swim or sink
False witness, cast an evil eye
Said "I cannot tell a lie
Haints and saints don't bother me
I'm not alone, you see"
