a cult tragedy at glance)

A man in a mission

and a man on a mission

Crockett and Koresh

Two guys named Dave

livin? in the old southwest.

One lived in Waco

the other just below

in San Antonio

the fuckin' Alamo!

Both took on a country

and died in an ashtray

Waco, the Alamo

towering inferno

taking heat from Mexico

and gas from Janet Reno

one Dave made the history books

with glory for his trauma

the other made the headlines

and a mini-docudrama.

Both took on a country

and died in an ashtray

but who was the hero?

and who was the psyco?

In the East to take your life

before defeat is to die with honor.

In the West we praise the man

who tried but died a hopeless goner
