Burnin'

Dead coyote on the side of the road
Train cars burnin' from coast to coast
News folk talkin' bout a UFO
And I still can't buy no smokes

And my mama said
Son quit singin' bout the drugs you do
We both know you ain't got a bone in you
That'll roll that tobacco and puff them fumes
Cause all you ever knew
Is how to run your mouth
Piss off the neighbors and play real loud
Just run your mouth
And sing all through this house

And I said, oh
Well the way I see it, you
You just don't get
That if the whole world's burnin' I'm damn sure burnin' too

Church bells ringin' for the comin' of Christ
World war brewing like a Miller Lite
Cause Bud done found himself a hell of a fight
And I still can't find my lighter

And the preacher said, boy
Ain't you a church boy too
Ain't you got a darn thing better to do
Than roll that tobacco and puff them fumes
I said all you ever knew
Was how to run your mouth
Piss off the people and play to the crowd
Just run your mouth
And preach your own damn route
And I said, oh
Well the way I see it
Jesus ain't the stuck up coward you wish he was

Karma come knockin' like the angel of death
Holdin' down the dollar til its last breath
And the Lord gon' see to its final rest
Cause the tree's on fire
And the fire's burnin' higher
Little birdie gotta leave the nest

Smoke clouds blockin' out the sun and the moon
You payed for the poison now you're breathin' it too
This land of the free is still controlled by the few
And the vote's on fire
Little birdie fly higher
And you just might see that too

And I said, oh
Well the way I see it
Evil ain't the big bad secret it used to be
Not the helpless vision we used to see
Not the same scared people who bend the knee
