lyrics

Thunder on the mountain
There is lightning in the sky
Hammer of the straighten outer
Working overtime

And all the world's a rattlesnake
Waiting to unwind
And all the world needs setting straight
In his crooked mind

Birds of prey, they circle over
Black winged birds
Smithy of the straighten outer
Hammer out the curves

Folly of the straighten outer
Make the ravens laugh
Nature, she’s got all the power
He will never have

Thunder of the straighten outer
Sparking up the sky
Hammer of the straighten outer
Working overtime

And all the world's a rattlesnake
Waiting to unwind
And all the world needs setting straight
In his crooked mind

Story of the straighten outer
Story of the straighten outer
Folly of the straighten outer
The straighten outer
