mischief brew – tell me a story lyrics
tell me a story, settle the cards.
give me a cause for the foreign wars.
wrap me up in our flag,
and let the bombs fall where they may.
tell me a tale, make the puzzle whole.
give it to the pilgrim without a soul.
sell it to the miner who can’t afford his coal
and may the history factory never close.
you can build an army of this rabble yet.
you can make a nation from the ashes of the dead.
tell them a story:
god blood and glory,
brew up an enemy:
they’re comin’ to steal your bread.
and let the bombs fall where they may
on faces i don’t see with names i cannot say.
for i trust the storyteller with my vote.
i, pilgrim was sold a golden soul,
sold a soul, sold his soul.
the first thing i remember?
waking up and seeing you there.
comfort like a fire, like an answer to a prayer.
like a beacon in the blackness,
solace from the racket.
take your shears to the briars.
kill the chaors, make it clear.
tell me why the buildings fall and everybody dies.
i have so many questions,
just tell me where to sign…
and i’ll take up arms and lock all the doors
and i’ll tell them a story ’bout the good guys
of the war, of the war.
tell me a story to help me slip away.
i drank up an enemy.
so let the bombs rain from our parade
and fall where they may.
