Berserk Rag

Words Anonymous
To the tune of "Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag" by "Country Joe" McDonald


I just read in my TI
That we should all prepare to die,
For you must fight within the lists
As though there's steel within your fist,
When you get out there to fight,
You swing with all your might!

     For it's one, two, three, why do we strike full force?
     Don't tell me that's absurd, I follow Bersark's word;
     And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
     Well, ours is not to question why--
     Whoopie, we're all going to die!

Walk across the people bunchin',
Listen to the bones a-crunchin'
See the fighters start to hurt,
Watch the blood fall out in spurts
Be the first one on the floor
To fall all covered with gore.

Splinter temples, sever arteries,
Shatter craniums, hit 'em harder please
Hit so hard they'll hear it in Donegal,
But list your injuries with the Seneschal
If you can't knock off his head,
Hit 'em in the kidneys instead.

Set your sword against the slim one,
And get pounded by the grim one,
If you think that you're the best,
Go and challenge Seldomrest,
Be the first Knight on your block
To send your squire home in a box!

     For it's one, two, three, why do we strike full force?
     A rule we can't afford, let's complain to the Board!
     And it's five, six, seven, answer this if you will
     Wouldn't you like to be the first to die?
     Better yet first to kill!
