If you utter a sound or make a move, we'll kill you

Then they gathered around me

One man took my right arm

Oh I wish I, I could describe
F
The terror in the beautiful California moonlight
F
In an auto with six man and a chauffeur
F
Yeah these Christian patriots

They put fingers in my eyes and nose
F
As they subjected me to torture
C
Yeah the torture that a god fearing man
F
Is capable of conceiving.

Sing the Star Spangled Banner with feeling

So the lamp set a sickly stage light

Fourteen defenders of this country

All commanding me to undress

They poured tar over my body and hair
F
In the absence of feathers they rubbed sagebrush instead
