lyrics

We scraped the flint and made the spark
Then blazed our path without a chart
But we fell short, our progress lost

So, you dropped a ten ton bomb
We started speaking out in psalms
And when the truce is laid to rest
It’s not myself who’ll acquiesce

To hear you speak of just demands
Such empty words from artless men
Coming down off your lofty plinth

But now you've pushed a bit too hard
I strummed a chord on my guitar
And drove a beat through our heartland
Somehow, that you might understand

If you stop on a dime
You’ll break my heart
If you fall out of line
You’ll tear it apart
The forces are prime
To tear it apart

When truth is locked in mediocrity
It’s not my place to offer sympathies
Truly shocked at what this used to be

Here’s a thought - a takeaway
Know that it will be ok
With hands embedded in the clay
Truth is, we'll still be ok

Hey!
