Bridge Burning Lyrics

Satan, your kingdom must come down.
Satan, your kingdom must come down.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Satan, your kingdom must come down."
It occurred to me the other day that it might be fun to sing that to a certain someone on my last day of work. But Robin seems to think that's bridge-burning behavior. And everyone knows that burning bridges is unwise.
How about just playing a recording of that for his answering machine? So dramatic.
Yesterday, I decided the chorus from "Three Shots" would be even worse:
Three shots and you are going down.
Three shots and you will lick the dust off the ground.
A pitiful ending
In a pretty little town:
Three shots and you are going down.
Then last night I realized that most of the last two-thirds of "Message to Garcia" are, well, not relevant, but could also be amusingly overly dramatic if I sang them to, say, his secretary (switching out the name, of course):
Take a message to Garcia: Ask him how it feels
To go from the hunter to the hunted,
The nightmares all too true, and his fears are all too real,
And there's nowhere he can turn to for comfort.
Ask him if his sleep is ever troubled.
And does he dream as I have dreamed for so long?
And does he think with sorrow on his women and his wealth,
Knowing one day soon they'll all be gone?
Take a message to Garcia: Say there's danger on the street.
(But he will know, as I have always known it.)
Tell him to beware of friend as well as foe:
They are scheming, though their smiles will never show it.
Do any other fabulous bridge-burning songs come to mind?
In real-life news involving singing an overly dramatic song at work: Once I did learn that a co-worker who had taken pregnancy leave had decided not to return to work after asking why another co-worker was singing "Ding-dong, the witch is dead!"
Satan, your kingdom must come down.
