Not sure how I missed this one. This is such a cool track, and the lyrics are pure poetry. This was so much fun to jam to, thanks Cody and Balfo....

You can google the full poem, and it pretty much is about defeating Native Peoples with a couple of machine guns, pretty brutal stuff!

Needs Bass, More Guitar!!!

Rudyard Kipling
Screw-Guns

Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin' cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets -- 'Tss! 'Tss!
For you all love the screw-guns -- the screw-guns they all love you!
So when we call round with a few guns, o' course you will know what to do -- hoo! hoo!

The eagles is screamin' around us, the river's a-moanin' below,
We're clear o' the pine an'
