Talking points are burning arrows raining down from towers The ATF blasted Nancy Sinatra at David Koresh and the Branch Davidians Syllables meaningless against homologous syntax The ATF blasted Alice Cooper at David Koresh and the Branch Davidians You’d be better off shooting a deer The ATF blasted Christmas carols at David Koresh and the Branch Davidians In the head, neck, or a major artery, somewhere painless The ATF blasted the sounds of strangled rabbits at David Koresh and the Branch Davidians The content of the mind as blood exits The ATF blasted Tibetan chants at David Koresh and the Branch Davidians A dinner guest leaving when the hosts start fighting These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do Have you seen the coward? Have you seen his glory? One of these days these boots are going to walk all over you
