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

One man took my right arm

The terror in the beautiful California moonlight

In an auto with six man and a chauffeur

Yeah these Christian patriots

They put fingers in my eyes and nose
B
As they subjected me to torture

Yeah the torture that a god fearing man

Is capable of conceiving.

Fourteen defenders of this country

All commanding me to undress

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