RUDE BOYS.

ALL THE RUDE BOYS ARE CARRYING SHOOTERS

ON THE STREETS OF DEPTFORD TONIGHT

'COS THE LONE RANGER'S MASK HAS FALLEN

AND TONTO'S DIED OF FRIGHT.

WHEN HE GAZED ON THE FACE OF HIS HERO

AND FOR THE FIRST TIME LOOKED INTO HIS EYES

TONTO SAW VERY CLEAR

FROM HIS NECK TO HIS EAR

WHY HIS HERO WAS WEARING A HAT.

HE'D EXCHANGED THE TEEPEE

FOR A TOUPEE

HIS TRYST FOR TRUST

TIT FOR TAT

HIS GRIM FACED PROFILE WAS MAKEUP

HIS SINUOUS THIGH BONE AND FAT

( HIS LEATHER SUIT WAS A SHAMMY )

AND THE GUN THAT HE WORE

AND SO FAST ON THE DRAW

WAS A PLASTIC DUMMY GUNNY

NOT OF SILVER AS BEFORE.

BUT THE NORTHERN WORLD IS CHANGING

AND SILVER GUNS COST MORE

AND THERE'S NOTHING VERY FUNNY

'BOUT A PLASTIC DUMMY GUNNY

THAT SOME MUMMY'S DUMMY SONNY

HOLDS A FRACTION FROM YOUR HEAD

PLASTIC BULLETS ARE LETHAL

THEY KILL YOU JUST LIKE LEAD

AND THE HORSE THAT HE RODE

THAT HE FORCED WITH A GOAD

TO REAR HI-HO SILVER AWAY

WAS A BATTLE GREY MARE

WITH A BLOOD-FLECKED STARE

AND THE MARE SEEMED TO SAY

IN A PAINED KIND OF WAY -

BLESSED ARE THE PEACE KEEPERS

'COS THEY SHALL RIDE HORSES

WRETCHED ARE THE POOR

THE SHALL EAT HORSES.

AND YOU TONTO

(THIS IS THE HORSE TALKING)

WHAT WILL KEEMA SABEE GIVE YOU TONIGHT

TO SET YOUR ARROW A-QUIVER?

JUST ENOUGH TO TIGHTEN YOUR CHAIN

(ONE MORE LINK)

JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU FAINT

(MAKE YOU THINK)

BLOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR WARPAINT

(UNGESCHIMNKT)

SO DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR ARROWS AND BOWS

DON'T CAST AWAY YOUR SPEARS

REMEMBER THE BUFFALO SOLDIERS

IF YOU DON'T FIGHT YOU DIE..

AIN'T THAT CLEAR?
