Old West

Five Iron Frenzy · Cheeses... [2003]

Some cowboys were a ridin

Ridin on the range

The grass was overgrazed there

And spotted like some mange

The buffalo they all were dead there

The trees were through

And if they saw some Injuns

Why they would kill them too



West or bust in God we trust

Let's rape, let's kill, let's steal

We can almost justify anything we feel

I'm climbin up that ladder now

More brownie points for me

I'll work my way to Jesus, just you wait and see



Said one cowboy to another

I think it would be nice

If we could take the Injuns

and convert them all to Christ

See they are all disgusting

And bringing me great pain

And if they don't believe me

We'll put a bullet in their brains



West or bust in God we trust

Let's rape, let's kill, let's steal

We can almost justify anything we feel

I'm climbin up that ladder now

More brownie points for me

I'll work my way to Jesus, just you wait and see



I am always shouting

When I go outside

That people should repent now

Or they are going to die

My motives are all selfish

I'm a cannon brimmed with powder

If people don't believe me

I'll just beat them, and yell louder



West or bust in God we trust

Let's rape, let's kill, let's steal

We can almost justify anything we feel

I'm climbin up that ladder now

More brownie points for me

I'll work my way to Jesus, just you wait and see
