lyrics

Coffee and radio news, there’s me waking up to you. The war The West had to lose floods the station. Like decades of steady abuse and a tidal flow of troops could have saved us from that bleak and fated truth.

The sun started wandering through. The blinds cast lines across our room. I laughed at how nature divides. You said, “It’s what we do.” With an incessant need to classify, through filtered eyes, all blame’s assigned, and we sit silent and satisfied among our group.

So storm the beach of Normandy. God said, “Good men die free.” Go brave the desert heat where the oil comes cheap and the good men look like me.

With one crushing defeat of our blessed company, in the streets with the burning effigies. Buried deep in the dirt with our grandfathers for the patriots we served.

So bow you head down to the throne. Hang the flag outside your home. Hang the cross on your tombstone. Hang yourself as your told. Herald those silver shackles. Hide in your Western shadow. Cast every stone. Reap what you sew. March yourself off to battle.
