It is an early
Monday morning
The Badgers Are Coming
To take back their land
No one was watching
As they came a stalkin'
Nobody knew
What trouble would brew
-It was really scary,
Hard to put to words.
It was so horrific,
They ate all my birds.-
They reached the first house
No one was in it.
They hit the second house
No one was home.
By the time they reached the third house
They were having a fit.
And because of the rabies
Their saliva had turned to foam.
They looked at the suburb
Where they had once lived.
They looked at the people
Who had taken their land.
It was clear that the humans
Had worn out their welcome.
They would take back their homes
The time was at hand.
-They came without warning
In the middle of the night.
But we will get through this
If we try with all our might.-
"Go away!" he yelled.
"Get off me!" he yelled.
"Please spear me!" he yelled.
But they just killed him.
With the same sharp claws
And ravenous teeth
In his home.
In his home.
All alone.
They laid out the riffles
They loaded the shotgun.
They stacked up the cartridges along the walls.
They knew they would need them for their own protection.
If it went as they planned
Then they wouldn't use them at all.
They said, "Listen you people
It is important you listen
The badgers are here and some of us are missin'
And we must leave right now.
Are They?
They are a group
That we cannot fight.
Are They?
If we do
We will be shunned
Are They?
By the animal
Rights activists
They might not
Let us live!
The first thing they did
Took the suburb by surprise
One got Mark Tompson
And gouged out his eyes.
It flew through the window
Pinned him against the floor
Now that he was dead
The badger ran out the door.
-They were really creepy
Also intriguing
I killed one at the corner bar
I never hated one of them at all
Not one
Not at all!-
Craig Williams was questioned
As he stepped from his car.
Mike Smith went across the street
But he never got that far.
Animal control was there in minutes
To setup barricades.
But the badgers crawled on threw them
In a two mile circle
In a dumb struck suburb
Their killing and rabies were sprayed.
They knocked over Charles Wilson
As he ran towards the door
Just about then
The trucks were coming
Sweet sweet joy.
Fun in the suburb
Houses like canyon walls
Killing everyone in sight
As they ran through the halls.
37 people
Got their message so far
Yes they were reaching them
Right where they are.
They started evacuations
They asked for volunteers
They had to leave the suburb
That much was clear.
And the word spread about them
So that everyone could hear.
In an appropriately sober tone they asked,
"Why are they here?"
They're coming to get us
They don't want to let us
Stay on their land too long.
It's getting on noon now
It's going to be soon now
In an hour we'll all be gone.
Badgers,
Why have you come here?
Won't you please
Leave us all alone?
Badgers,
It is getting worse for us.
Won't you please
Just go back to your homes?
Badgers,
Yes we curse you.
And we never will
Forgive you for your killing.
We hate you.
The trucks all leaving right now
And they'll keep going out of the town.
Soon we'll be there
Wherever it is
We all know one thing
We're all going to live.
As the trucks dropped the gas
We shouted, "We're here!"
But everyone knew
The badgers were still near
Climb back in the truck
Movin' on again
With one final go at it
They left right then
Are They?
There is no way
You can keep up with us.
Are They?
Though we have put
A fire inside you.
Are They?
You've made your point
Now leave us all alone.
We were
You are
And now,
We will be.
We will be
