The Band - To Kingdom Come

"Fought for the party to kingdom come,"
Sadly told his only son
"Just be careful what you do,
It all comes back on you
False witness spread the news,
Somebody's gonna lose
Either she or me or you,
Nothing we could do

"So don't you say a word
Or repeat a thing you heard
Time will tell you well
If the truth truly fell
Tarred and feathered, yeah, thistled and thorned
One or the other," he kindly warned
"Now you look out the window, tell me what do you see?"
"I see a golden calf pointing back at me"

Well, they'd set their cap for so darn long
waiting for the end to come along
Holy Ghost or on the brink
I'd take a choice, swim or sink
False witness cast an evil eye
Said I cannot tell a lie
Kings and saints don't bother me
I'm not alone, you see
