"The Banishment Song" lyrics

"The Banishment Song"

You're no longer welcome here
You can't just have anything you like
We're an easy kind, but you've crossed the line

You are banished, banned
We have made the call
And it's a fucked up world beyond these walls

But you brought this on yourself
And there ain't no other way
You're never ever ever coming back

Take some bread 'n my pocket knife
That's the last gift you'll receive
This is the last that you'll ever hear from me

You're no longer welcome here
You bent the rules so hard they broke
You paid us no dues, you made us a joke

You're forever shunned
We have forgotten your face 'n name
You say its our fault, but we're not to blame

You've got a lousy fate
You've got to live under the sky
Of a broken down bruise colored place

Take a word from me
Never look 'em in the eye
This is the last advice you'll ever get from me

You're no longer welcome here
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna leave here, too
I'm gonna roll with you

'Cause we're no longer here
We just can't have everything we like
We're an easy kind, about to cross the line

With the sinners and the losers
And the long winded boozers
This is the last that I'll ever ask of you
Y'know we brought this on ourselves
But there ain't no other way
We're never ever, ever coming back
