Black Powder & Alcohol
When the States and the citys fall
When your back is against the wall
Black Powder & Alcohol
Gimme charcol to the messure two (2)
(Send the bullet where you want it to)
Gimme sulfer to the messure three (3)
(Make that powder gonna' keep you free
Gimme salt peter, messure fifteen (15)
Sweetest shootin' that you've ever seen.
Black Powder & Alcohol
When the States and the citys fall
When your back is against the wall
Black Powder & Alcohol
Gimme water, yeast and vegi trash
Leave it sittin' in a slury mash
When it's ready put it in the still
If you can't heat it then the sunlight will
Draw the alcohol away and then
Put the slury back and start again.
Black Powder & Alcohol
When the States and the citys fall
When your back is against the wall
Black Powder & Alcohol
It will clean your cuts or run your car
You can make it anywhere you are
Black powder in your cartrage shell
will send your robbers runnin' clean to hell
You can make'um if you just know how so
Kids, remember what I'm teaching you now
Black Powder & Alcohol
When the States and the citys fall
When your back is against the wall
Black Powder & Alcohol
