[Incomprehensible] to kingdom come   Sadly told his only son   "Just be careful what you do   It all comes back on you"      False witness spread the news   Somebody's gonna lose   Either she or me or you   Nothing we could do      So don't you say a word   Or reveal a thing you've learned   Time will tell you well   If you truly, truly fell      Tarred and feathered, yeah   Thistles and thorns   One or the other, he kindly warns      Now you look out the window   Tell me, what do you see?   I see a golden calf pointing back at me      I been sitting in here for so darn long   Waitin' for the end to come along   Holy roaster on the brink   I take a chance, swim or sink      False witness, cast an evil eye   Said I cannot tell a lie   [Incomprehensible] and saints don't bother me   I'm not alone you see      Don't you say a word   Or reveal a thing you've heard   Time will tell you well   If you truly, truly fell      Tarred and feathered, yeah   Thistles and thorns   One or the other, he kindly warns      Now you look out the window   Tell me what do you see?   I see a golden calf pointing back at me
