You tell me there's an angel in your tree

Did he say he'd come to call on me

For things are getting desperate in our home

Living in the parish of the restless folks I know



Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside

Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide

Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps

It's time we put the flame torch to their keep



Burn down the mission

If we're gonna stay alive

Watch the black smoke fly to heaven

See the red flame light the sky



Burn down the mission

Burn it down to stay alive

It's our only chance of living

Take all you need to live inside



Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today

My wife cried when they came to take me away

But what more could I do just to keep her warm

Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls
