The chief had a drank for twenty years or so And stayed drunk enough to call the streets his home He was working on a hand-held totem pole until Boy blue looked his way The drink and his style stayed clogged in his ear Or maybe he was to drunk to notice or fear That man with a gun raising hell About his blade. The chief kept walking, not knowing he should stop And with a whisper of a warning that is as far as he got Boy blue put four in his back my god What a man. 'This doesn't reflect on the whole brigade' But discipline and punishment, like magic, fade They protect their own so Mr. Birk Just hid away. The lesson here is one of fear One of panic and add the right to **** Try your words before you send an old man To his grave.

The Ballad of John T. Williams
The chief had a drank for twenty years or so And stayed drunk enough to call the streets his home He was working on a hand-held totem pole until Boy blue looked his way The drink and his style stayed clogged in his ear Or maybe he was to drunk to notice or fear That man with a gun raising hell About his blade. The chief kept walking, not knowing he should stop And with a whisper of a warning that is as far as he got Boy blue put four in his back my god What a man. 'This doesn't reflect on the whole brigade' But discipline and punishment, like magic, fade They protect their own so Mr. Birk Just hid away. The lesson here is one of fear One of panic and add the right to **** Try your words before you send an old man To his grave.
