People ‘round here say you’re a witch
They’re intrigued in seeing you roast
They really intend to burn you my friend
I think that’s the bit they like most
Wake up baby, the mob are on their way
Howling, growling, they want your blood
They’re out to get it today
You had to go and cure the mayor’s itch
Then you took care of his clerk
You fixed up john green and the old bishop’s spleen
Put everyone out of work
Wake up baby, oh baby open your eyes
Look around you, this may be your last sunrise
The night is black, without a moon.
The air is thick and still.
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill.
Features distorted in the flickering light,
Faces are twisted and grotesque.
Silent and stern in the sweltering night,
The mob moves like demons possesed.
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right,
Confident their ways are best.
The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will.
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill.
They say there are strangers who threaten us,
Our immigrants and infidels.
They say there is strangeness to danger us
In our theatres and bookstore shelves,
That those who know what’s best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves.
Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand.
Wipe out the weak and
dying I’ve got no use for
