1st verse
---------
Listen children to a story
that was written long ago
'bout a kingdom on a mountain
and the valley folk below.
On the mountain was a treasure
buried deep beneath a stone,
and the valley people swore they'd
have it for their very own.

2nd verse
---------
So the people of the valley
sent a message up the hill
asking for the buried treasure,
tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer from the kingdom:
"With our brothers we will share
all the secrets of our mountain,
all the riches buried there."

3rd verse
---------
Now the valley cried with anger;
mount your horses, draw your sword,
and they killed the mountain people,
so they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure
on the mountain, dark and red,
turned the stone and looked beneath it.
"Peace on earth" was all it said.

Chorus
------
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven,
justify it in the end.  There
won't be any trumpets blowin'
come the judgement day on the
bloody morning after___
_____________  one tin
soldier rides away.
