The Masked Man

 

  1. W. Bryce

 

Quick. Call the Masked Man. We’re under siege.

The outlaws are running rampant. They’ve got us

Surrounded. They’re burning our houses down.

Protect us with your silver bullet. Bring Tonto.

 

Call Doc Holliday. Shoot ‘em Doc. Shoot ’em daid.

Fight for our protection Doc.  Give us medicine Doc.

Keep ’em from killing us. Make them go away.

Bind our wounds, Doc, stop our bleeding.

 

Call the sheriff! Tell Wyatt Earrp to bring his posse.

We’re outnumbered. Badly outnumbered.

Tell him, bring extra ammo. Yer gonna need it.

Tell him deputize every man and boy still walking.

 

Call Batt Masterson. He’ll help. He can

Whip up a unit real fast. Annie Oakley. She’s a

Sharp shooter. And Buffalo Bill and the rodeo for

Reinforcements. We’re gonne need ’em all.

 

Call em all, will ya? We’re gonna need ’em.

And more. Hell, call in Jesse James. He’s a good

Shot. He’ll kill a lot o’ them varmints. Hurry. Hurry.

They’re droppin’ us like flies.  Help. Quick.

 

The masked men, the masked women,

They need our help. The front line is breaking.

The front liners are dropping like flies, too.

This F***g virus has us on the run. Call the

masked man. Call him now.
