Slim Cessna's Auto Club - Commandment 4 lyrics

We worked hard today But the work ain't done While we were in the fields Our homes were overrun Don't wipe your boots off, boys Leave your hats in place Ring the bells to warn Just don't lift up your face [Chorus] The sky, it could be darkening Whenever the beast might choose Let us halt they're conspiring By commencing the pigeon shoot Our father's welcome them To carry their petty notes These birds are obsolete So we must help them go Our mothers reared us both Pigeon's milk we've shared Now we have hollowed bones And our homes have become a lair [Chorus] The sky, it could be darkening Whenever the beast might choose Let us halt they're conspiring By commencing the pigeon shoot There are suspicious stains Throughout our land Every year new ones show From our guns, the young squads will disband Now all the birds are gone We've still got some shells For all that have treated us wrong You'd best prepare yourselves [Chorus] The sky, it could be darkening Whenever the beast might choose Let us halt they're conspiring By commencing the pigeon shoot
