Old Merkwerkee Songtext
von The Cog Is Dead

In 1887 way out in the west
Things looked a little murky
The odds were slim
And somewhat grim
For the town of Old Merkwerkee
A storm was coming like they′d never seen
In Tucson or Albuquerque
With hail and snow
And robot buffalo
To the town of Old Merkwerkee


Merkwerkee
You have got to be prepared
To take on anything you face
When the cards are stacked against you
And there's no one to defend you
Then your challange has to be embraced
Merkwerkee
If you band together you can
Weather any raging storm
So it′s time to join your forces
Get your gear and ride your horses
And protect the place where you were born

The wild storm and mech stampede
Came rolling in
This weren't no flock of turkeys
The robot herd of buffalo were spurred
To the town of Old Merkwerkee
Then hail stones fell
That were as big as bricks
By now the folks were perky
They formed a crew
And they knew what to do
For the town of Old Merkwerkee


Merkwerkee
You have got to be prepared
To take on anything you face
When the cards are stacked against you
And there's no one to defend you
Then your challange has to be embraced
Merkwerkee
If you band together you can
Weather any raging storm
So it′s time to join your forces
Get your gear and ride your horses
And protect the place where you were born
(Merkwerkee)

They rounded up the buffalo
At Lester′s farm
And turned 'em into jerky
Though tough to eat
It was good robot meat
In the town of Old Merkwerkee
They took the hail stones
And they ground them up
To make sarsparilla slurpees
Now there′s no more dread
And everyone gets fed
In the town of Old Merkwerkee

Merkwerkee
You have got to be prepared
To take on anything you face
When the cards are stacked against you
And there's no one to defend you
Then your challange has to be embraced
Merkwerkee
If you band together you can
Weather any raging storm
So it′s time to join your forces
Get your gear and ride your horses
And protect the place where you were born
