Killer Woods
Lets all leave our mothers breasts
And run off to the woods to test
Each other’s heart to see whose best
At killing or at dying.
Whitey you must bring the gun
Blacky you bring the knife for fun
We'll play to see who will run
From killing or from dying.
Last year Yellow played all wrong
He sat and sang a protest song
Till everyone just went home
No killing and no dying.
But now we have a brand new rule
To save us from another fool
If you protest and can’t be cool
We’re killing and you're dying.
Lets all leave our mothers breasts
And run off to the woods to test
Each other’s heart to see whose best
At killing or at dying.
