ANTI-FLAG - Tar And Sagebrush lyrics

rate me

(Rollin?)

If you utter a sound

Don't make a move

We'll kill you

Then they gathered around me

One man took my right arm

And another man took my left

When the third man grabbed the front of my coat

Then thrown in to an automobile we go

Oh I wish

I could describe

The terror in that 20 mile ride

Oh I wish

I could describe

The terror in the beautiful California moonlight

In an auto with six man and chauffeur

Yeah these Christian patriots

They put fingers in my eyes and nose

As they subjected me to torture

Yeah the torture that a good fearing man

Is capable of conceiving

Oh I wish

I could describe

The terror in that 20 mile ride

Oh I wish

I could describe

The terror in the beautiful California moonlight

You won't kiss the American flag

Well by god we'll make you

We'll ram it down your throat

Sing the Star Spangled Banner with feeling

They put their autos together

So the lamp set a sickly stage light

Fourteen defenders of this country

All commanding me to undress

They poured tar over my body and hair

In the absence of feathers they rubbed sagebrush instead

Oh I wish

I could describe

The terror in that 20 mile ride

Oh I wish

I could describe

The terror in the beautiful California moonlight

My suffering was terrible

But my greatest pain was over you
