Lyrics To Kingdom Come - 2000 Digital Remaster - The Band

Forefather pointed 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 can do
So, don't you say a word
Or reveal a thing you've heard
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell
Tarred and feathered, yeah
Thistles and thorns
"One or the other"
He kindly warned
Now, you look out the window, tell me
What do you see?
I see a golden calf pointin'
Back at me
I've been sittin' in here for so darn long
Waitin' for the end to come along
Holy roaster on the brink
I take a choice, swim or sink, yeah
False witness cast an evil eye
Said I cannot tell a lie
Haints and saints don't bother me
I'm not alone, you see
So, don't you say a word
Or reveal a thing you've heard
Time would tell you well
If you truly, truly fell
Tarred and feathered, yeah
Thistles and thorns
"One or the other"
He kindly warned
Now, you look out the window, tell me
What do you see?
I see a golden calf pointin'
Back at me
