Witch Hunt

December 25. 2010
Robert Virgel Cain

One day I thought I might mutter a spell mutter a spell - mutter a spell
Even though I knew it might send me to hell
Out there in the hereafter
A harmless little hoodoo way to rebel
Way to rebel - way to rebel
I didn't think it through too awfully well
I did it just for the laughter
But nothing really seemed to happen right then
So I went about my business again

I was suddenly surrounded by an angry mob -- an angry mob -- an angry mob
And I wondered if the spell might've done its job
‘Cause their numbers seemed to be growing
Then one of them asked me if my name was Bob – my name was Bob -- my name was Bob
I go "Who wants to know? I've no time to hob-nob; I really ought to be going."
But it didn't seem like I could get away from them
And I started to regret my whim

I'd rather get forty lashes
Than be on the wrong end of a witch hunt
Can you pick my bones up from the ashes
And stack 'em back together when I've taken the brunt?
It'll be all right if you don't share your light
And let me get a better start
'Cause I'm burning with desire just to shows I've had a change of heart

"We know from the spell that you uttered today uttered today - uttered today
That you spent your whole Gol-darned life that way
And you sold all your marbles to Satan!
Our lives are a mess and you're going to pay going to pay - going to pay
So we'll mercifully burn you without delay
We're not trying to be hatin"

l'd rather get forty lashes
Than be on the wrong end of a witch hunt
Can you pick my bones up from the ashes
And stack them back together when I've taken the brunt?
It'd be all right if you don't share your light
And let me get a better start
‘Cause I'm burning with desire just to show I've had a change of heart
There's a moral here at the end
The best way out is don't ever begin
But if you ever get caught in the mire
Messing round and tangled up in the wire
The second-best thing you can do -- The second-best thing you can do -- I said the second-best thing you can do --
I said the second-best way out is going straight through the fire
Straight through the fire!

l'd rather get forty lashes
Than be on the wrong end of a witch hunt
Can you pick my bones up from the ashes
And stack them back together when I've taken the brunt?
It'd be all right if you don't share your light
And let me get a better start
‘Cause I'm burning with desire just to show I've had a change of heart
I am burning with desire just to show I've had a change of heart
Yeah I'm burning with desire just to show I've had a change of heart
I am burning with desire just to show I've had a change of heart
