beware beware take heed take care 
you set up shop in town  
old hooper's shop burnt down 
should know out here  
we have a way held dear  
you're welcome to your own  
but help the meek along 

believe believe my humble word is free  
good wills Augustus best 
insurance policy  

but hope will fix the game for none but self in kin and clan 
faulter is the tread upon the back of common man 

beware beware take care take heed 
you took the factory  
cut work and half their fee 
no idle hands  
undo the devil's plans 
no water left in stone  
no better kept than thrown 
I know it seems  
a simple peasant dream   
why should you stray or steer  
your path to power's clear 

maybe what you've done you think will be for greater good 
but that wont help you none if what you done was understood 

beware beware take heed take care 
you pumped our paper news  
to shock and shape our views 
your words are plain  
my neighbor is to blame 
pit baker 'gainst the farm  
and farm against the grain 
the stones are cast  
the singer spits them back  
but benevolent armed thugs  
can't quell the peasant clash 

so strut and trickle down upon the seething mass of men  
and the moment you misstep I snag your jewels upon my pen 

beware beware take heed take care  
we come to you at night  
and drag you to the square  
be wise be wise come clean  
we tracked your lies  
helped all your temple slaves  
set the place ablaze 
our compass is gone  
all sense of right and wrong 
well set ourselves to flames  
so long as you get what comes 

they'll take five of us for every single one of you  
but that don't scare us none we're up to ninety nine to two  
your final soiree will be a banquet in the mud 
we'll pass the cup around to taste the memory of love 

beware beware take heed and care my friends  
when blood with that is spared  
our wait is at an end
