MARKED FOR DELETION - The Séance At Harpers Ferry lyrics

Well they hung John Brown in 1859 After his revolt did not go fine Trying to free the slaves was a noble cause Like putting one's faith in the Wizard of Oz And I know they've got John Brown in the ground Yet I know his story's not fully text-book bound And I know his body's a molderin' away And I know his rifles have long turned to clay But I figure it's time to bring him some respect After all his spirit must be quite abject After being lynched for humanitarian deeds Giving Brown a hand is exactly what he needs So I'm here in West Virginia with my Oujia Board To bring back faith in a soldier long ignored It's possible you'd think my intentions are scary With this séance that I'm having at Harpers Ferry [Chorus] 'Cause now I'm channeling John Brown's ghost Because John Brown was an abolitionist He did his thing at Harpers Ferry, though he missed The opportunity to lead a slave revolt Because the West Virginian army made him holt He got caught by some racists who weren't down With his liberal liberation, much too profound He was saving the souls of a suppressed race Society cut him down, shoved their morals in face They said John Brown, John Brown Just surrender now John Brown, John Brown We just don't know how You could ever think you'd get away with this His public execution was their ultimate diss [REPEAT Chorus] So I'm here at Harpers Ferry, waiting for a sign To communicate with John Brown, through his mind And I'm focusing on his very brave deeds Occasional respect is what the dead need Then all of a sudden, he appears to me Like I'm Macbeth, and he's the witches three He looks into my eyes, like they're two jars And says, "Hello, you must be Lars." And I'm quite surprise to see Brown today Levitating like Slimer, and pale as clay Yet he looks tired, and he looks warn The expression in his eyes is somewhat forlorn I ask him for advice on racial harmony He tells me to continue fighting bigotry He says we can look forward to a new society And that he digs the song I did with B
