Mischief Brew - A Liquor Never Brewed (With Guignol) lyrics

There was a knockin' at my door It's the dreaded landlord He wants his rent He wants it now And he is careless how He left us in a vacant daze Asking how we got here And we retired to slumber But the gla**es never were rinsed There was a tappin' on my back It's the dreaded foreman I think I see a smile Through his teeth and his cigar He put my hands to work And said they'd otherwise do nothing And I made a thousand things today I'm sure I'll never use There was a ringin' on my bell I picked it up to answer They said they were my comrade But they couldn't say my name So I asked 'em 'bout the sun and moon And what their thoughts on time were They hung it up in madness And went on to punch the clock And somewhere there's the sound of someone singin' I got an invitation once from liberty They had a mischief brew But no goblets were used Besting rum or porter 'Tis a liquor never brewed Never Brewed There was a rapping at my door It's the dreaded policeman He had a ticket to enter Signed by fools of Stanford law He questioned me on politics And scorned my generation For not respecting elders And the land's authority So when the landlord came to knock I said come back tomorrow There's more life I'll be livin' Than Just slaving for your wage And to the troop and foreman Make yourself the things I don't use For I'm off into the forest For a liquor never brewed They are following the sound of someone singin' I got an invitation once from liberty They had a mischief brew But no goblets were used Besting rum or porter 'Tis a liquor never brewed Never brewed!There was a knockin' at my door It's the dreaded landlord He wants his rent He wants it now And he is careless how He left us in a vacant daze Asking how we got here And we retired to slumber But the gla**es never were rinsed There was a tappin' on my back It's the dreaded foreman I think I see a smile Through his teeth and his cigar He put my hands to work And said they'd otherwise do nothing And I made a thousand things today I'm sure I'll never use There was a ringin' on my bell I picked it up to answer They said they were my comrade But they couldn't say my name So I asked 'em 'bout the sun and moon And what their thoughts on time were They hung it up in madness And went on to punch the clock And somewhere there's the sound of someone singin' I got an invitation once from liberty They had a mischief brew But no goblets were used Besting rum or porter 'Tis a liquor never brewed Never Brewed There was a rapping at my door It's the dreaded policeman He had a ticket to enter Signed by fools of Stanford law He questioned me on politics And scorned my generation For not respecting elders And the land's authority So when the landlord came to knock I said come back tomorrow There's more life I'll be livin' Than Just slaving for your wage And to the troop and foreman Make yourself the things I don't use For I'm off into the forest For a liquor never brewed They are following the sound of someone singin' I got an invitation once from liberty They had a mischief brew But no goblets were used Besting rum or porter 'Tis a liquor never brewed Never brewed!
