ONE TIN SOLDIER
(The Legend of Billy Jack)
(Lambert / Potter)
Original Caste
Coven


Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom, on a mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There wont be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the kingdom
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain
N' all the riches buried there

Now the valley cried in anger
Mount your horses
Draw your sword
And they killed the mountain people
So they won their just reward
Now they stood beside the treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turn the stone and which beneath it
"Peace on Earth"
Was all it said

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There wont be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There wont be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away

Feeling a little better, I hope?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

2. I'm a haunted soul, even when I'm stable

[Electric Monk]

3. Me too. Not all that much fun, is it? Glad you're still here though. nt

[Jeffersons Ghost]

4. and the world is falling apart at the seams as BIG players screw things up for us all...

"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now. The hour is getting late"

5. Everybody knows the emperor has no clothes. Bow to him anyway, it's better than being alone.

6. It's not an emperor. It's a wizard. And I'm going to pull open the curtain on the son of a bitch.

[Electric Monk]

7. Great, but how do songs that are older than I am help do that?

We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

8. Toto is dead. Now it's time to kill some fucking witches

[Jeffersons Ghost]

10. and I mean NSA witches. They've been fucking with me for so long I've learned all their secrets

[Electric Monk]

12. Do they float?

[Electric Monk]

13. I'm with you in spirit, but totally lost in practice. What do we do next?

:shrug:

9. My fourth-grade teacher had a guitar and we used to sing this at circle time.

The 70s were good to many of us.
