(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 f**kin' 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.
