Lyrics

[00:12.90] Forefather pointed to kingdom come
[00:15.97] Sadly told his only son
[00:19.04] "Just be careful what you do
[00:21.47] It all comes back on you"
[00:23.83]
[00:25.11] False witness spread the news
[00:27.83] Somebody's gonna lose
[00:30.81] Either she or me or you
[00:33.35] Nothing we could do
[00:35.35]
[00:35.64] So don't you say a word
[00:39.84] Or reveal a thing you've learned
[00:43.88] Time will tell you well
[00:47.31] If you truly, truly fell
[00:50.76]
[00:53.41] Tarred and feathered, yeah
[00:56.52] Thistles and thorns
[00:59.33] One or the other, he kindly warns
[01:04.60]
[01:05.00] Now you look out the window
[01:06.56] Tell me, what do you see?
[01:10.64] I see a golden calf pointing back at me
[01:14.83]
[01:15.94] I been sitting in here for so darn long
[01:19.03] Waitin' for the end to come along
[01:22.58] Holy roaster on the brink
[01:24.56] I take a chance, swim or sink
[01:26.62]
[01:28.04] False witness, cast an evil eye
[01:31.15] Said I cannot tell a lie
[01:34.01] Haints and saints don't bother me
[01:36.28] I'm not alone you see
[01:37.99]
[01:39.50] Don't you say a word
[01:43.15] Or reveal a thing you've heard
[01:47.10] Time will tell you well
[01:50.39] If you truly, truly fell
[01:53.68]
[01:56.70] Tarred and feathered, yeah
[01:59.55] Thistles and thorns
[02:02.43] One or the other, he kindly warns
[02:06.65]
[02:08.09] Now you look out the window
[02:09.74] Tell me what do you see?
[02:13.70] I see a golden calf pointing back at me
[02:18.29] ~~solo~~
