Phil Collins - Burn Down The Mission lyrics
[Phil Collins - Burn Down The Mission lyrics]
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
