Come let us gather up our pitch forks,
We’ll go kill all of the rich folks
We can force them from their mansions
If we hold their children ransom
We can take back all the wealth
They’ve been hoarding to themselves
Then we’ll divvy up the spoils ‘tween you and me
Cause if it’s ninety-nine to one
Then the war should long be won
But we’ve been hiding in our suburbs
Left our brother in the gutters
In this house of state we furnish
We’re just fodder for the furnace
They’ll cut us from our roots and then they’ll burn us
Now if they’re ain’t no God who sees us
And we don’t believe in Jesus
Then that pastor preaching patience
He’s just trying to deceive us
If there’s no reward for meekness
Then there ain’t much use in weakness
And no I ain’t just trying to be facetious
I say let us gather up our pitch forks
We’ll go kill all of the rich folks
We can force them from their mansions
If we hold their children ransom
We can take back all the wealth
They’ve been hoarding to themselves
Then we’ll divvy up the spoils ‘tween you and me
