lyrics

Awake in shades of study Stars and Stripes.
The bloody blue and the palest white.
I leave the solitude of my home
For crude confinement on the road.
Music's loud, not loud enough
To drown the thought of river muck.
Another babe got washed ashore,
Upon a land that was never yours.

The lost and found still found a war.

I'm thinking twice who I call the good folks.
Getting mean, I'm getting cautious.
When the sheep just wreaks of progress,
The shepherd's mean, he's feeling lawless.
And it's never been my seed to sow,
But so many days I want my hands on your throats.
And it don't bother me.

I took my last drink at the bar,
Shouldn't drive home I know.
That next light just up ahead,
It could be green, it could be gold.
Such a careless way to cope
With all the truth time seems to tell.
So bite the bullet or sweat it out,
Cause truth be told it ain't sitting well.

Give it up or give it hell.

I'm thinking twice who I call the good folks.
Getting mean, I'm getting cautious.
When the sheep just wreaks of progress,
The shepherd's mean, he's feeling lawless.
And it's never been my seed to sow,
But so many days, I hope for hands around your throats.
And it don't bother me.

Fruit fell too far from the tree
With every noose, every wall of your belief
To keep a pale and wicked dream.
I hope it falls, hope it can't withstand a breeze.
And if it makes a sound, may it make your ears bleed.
It wouldn't bother me.
