A Liquor Never Brewed (with Guignol) Songtext
von Mischief Brew

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 askin′ how we got here
And we retired to slumber but the glasses never were rinsed
There was a tappin' on my back, it's the dreaded foreman
I think I see him smile through his teeth and his cigar
He put my hands to work and said that otherwise, do nothin′
And I made a thousand things today I′m sure I'll never use
There was a ringin′ of my bell, I picked it up to answer
They said they were my comrades but I couldn't say my name
So I asked about the sun and moon and what the thoughts of time were
They hung it up in madness and went on to punch the clock
And somewhere there′s a sound of someone singin'
I got an invitation, want some liberty
They had a mischief brew but no goblets were used Best to leave my report, it is of liquor never brewed
There was a rapping′ at my door, it's the dreaded policeman
He had a ticket to enter signed by fools who stamped with laws
He questioned me on politics, 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 living' than just slavin′ for your wage
And to the troop and foreman
Make yourself the things I don't choose
For I′m off into the forest for a liquor never brewed
Today I'm following the sound of someone singin′
I got an invitation, want some liberty
They had a mischief brew but no goblets were used
Best to leave my report, it is of liquor never brewed
