Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
It's our only chance of livin'
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Take all you need to live inside
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
Now everybody bring your family down to the riverside
Than burn, burn, burn, burn, down the mission walls
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
Burn down the mission if we're gonna stay alive
It's our only chance of livin'
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
My wife cried when they came to take me away
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission, burn it down to stay alive
See the red flame light the sky
For things are getting desperate in our home
Burn down the mission, Lord, if we're gonna stay alive
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission, Lord, if we're gonna stay alive
