You know where I come from, you know what I feel |
|
You're Yul Brenner Westworld, reporting from the field |
|
I threw it into reverse, made a motion to repeal |
|
You kicked my legs from under me and tried to take the wheel |
|
I told you |
|
I wanted to be wrong |
|
But everyone is humming a song |
|
That I don't understand |
|
Now I know that the sun has shined on my side of the street |
|
The basket of America, the weevils with the wheat |
|
The milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple cheeked |
|
Salute Apollo Thirteen from the rattle jewelry seats |
|
Mythology's seductive and it turned a trick on me |
|
That I have just begun to understand |
|
I told you |
|
I wanted to be wrong |
|
But everyone is humming a song |
|
That I don't understand |
|
The rodeo is staged, gold circle, goat ropers and clowns |
|
A rumble in the third act, tie 'em up and burn 'em down |
|
We're armed to the teeth, born a little breech |
|
Blue plate special analysts, cells and S.U.V.'s |
|
We can't approach the allies 'cause they seem a little peeved |
|
And speak a language we don't understand |
|
I told you |
|
I wanted to be wrong |
|
But everyone is humming a song |
|
That I don't understand |
|
Storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite |
|
Did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets? |
|
Destroy the things that I don't understand |
|
Destroy the things that I don't understand |
