bandits (the trials of van occupanther) Lyrics

Did you ever want to be overrun by bandits
To hand over all of your things and start over new
While we were out hunting for food
Our house was being robbed
I caught an apple and she caught a fox
So I caught a rabbit but she caught an oxSo upon our return we found everything gone
Which for us was no loss
We started over with a rabbit and an oxSo they came down from the north
Carrying all they owned
With a basket full of food and clothes
They were stopped by a weekend raid
Traveling the woods one day
Tried to put up a fight but lostSo we asked for them to stay
With us on their way
To have a drink and rest
And regain their strengthDid you ever want to run around with bandits
To see many places and hide in ditches
It's not always easy, it's not always easyWhen the winter comes and the greenery goes

We will make some shelter
When the winter comes and the greenery goes
We will make some shelter
