lyrics

Otis, don't you whistle down death
Don't you call down Jesus Christ's bloody flail
upon your head

In the heat of the highway
a child will slap your face
while the ashes of his family
trickle down like rain

and somebody killed a mockingbird
for singing the wrong fucking song
You better get out of here, man
You don't have long

Otis, don't you whistle down death
Don't you call down Judgment Day
with those songs in your head

In the early desert morning
the sunlight cleaves the sky
and you'll chase her down the road
with an audience of crows

and somebody killed a mockingbird
for singing the wrong fucking song
You better get out of here, man
You don't have long

Cooley, don't you bow that string
Don't you stomp your wife
to death

On the day when He says rise
tell me Brother, will you rise?
On the day when He says rise
only the temperature will rise
