| Lyrics | ||
| Copyright 2006 Way down in Guyana Back in `78 Jim Jones said, "I am Jesus" And my time grows late Ignore the machetes And ignore all the guns The government is comin' I refuse to run (Chorus) Get up Get in line Drink up the kool aid Everything'll be fine Shut up Stay in line Drink up my kool aid And remember you're mine Way down in Waco Back in `93 A man called David said my flock is set free Ignore all those children That I liked to touch The government is comin' Fire won't hurt that much (Chorus) Bridge Look at the people who you believe Look at the people who you admire Could it be you've been deceived Could you love a dangerous liar Any where any time Any place on earth People drinking the kool aid For all that they're worth You can look at the punch bowl And think it ain't you `til the cup's in your hand And you're told what to do (Chorus) |
