lyrics

honey, I'm well versed
in text book history
Davy Crockett bullshit
manifest destiny

high on top of a mountain
all across the seas
everything my eyes touch
belong to me

but don't you march down no trail of tears
while the oceans burn and the wild west disappears
my conviction is firm and the Lord made my vision clear
I was born to be king, king of the wild frontier

Jesus Christ and Tonto
we ride deep
deputized by Jackson
we're the winning team

the department of labor
we're as thick as thieves
we're taking all of your paper, honey
you're taking all the heat

but don't you march down no trail of tears
while the oceans burn and the wild west disappears
my conviction is firm and the Lord made my vision clear
I was born to be king, king of the wild frontier

marching round the front lawn
musket in my hand
I point it at all the neighbors
before they touch my land

it's a bear, it's a savage!
it's a socialist plan!
I'm quick to pull the trigger
at what I don't understand

but don't you march down no trail of tears
while the oceans burn and the wild west disappears
my conviction is firm and the Lord made my vision clear
I was born to be king, king of the wild frontier"
