Final Parody 3: Honest Thieves

by A. James Robin

In this, the third installment of Final Parody, the spotlight is cast on Yuffie Kisaragi, and the hard life that she lived as a member of the struggling Wutai community. All songs are parodies of the latest Jars of Clay CD, 'Good Monsters'.

11. Fire's Your Treat

Note: This song is about the Turks' destruction of Wutai.

Fire's Your Treat- a parody of "Light Gives Heat" by Jars of Clay

V1

Catch the train, empty plans.
Take the feeling from my hands.
Watch the harvest from the den.
Zeroes from the east,
You don't know us, we're a beast.
Not true, not in the least.

Chorus

You treat me like I'm kind,
Setting fire to the pagoda at will.
But fire's your treat.
You renovate with wine.
Turks are coming from our tears.
But fire's your treat.

V2

It's not their way to light the day.
Hoist the poles for tents on hills.
Oh, how bad it feels.
Home at last, all too late.
Empty promise, empty slate.

V3

Still, you leech us from our love.
To bleed the Wutai green,
Walk the road I walk,
Feel insane, and yet real,
One last thing I steal.
I want the town. It's mine,
See the fight in time,
'Cause fire's your treat,
Your fire's your treat.
