It was ruff nite, turned into years in an unknown land. Just a grudge fight, cooked up by the DC suits on hand. We had a hard time but we tried to understand these born-again gunpoint libertines.
Then they sold us down the face of the mighty river, sold turpentine for tea. Hold me now it’s the evil liberator and he’s coming with a gang of thieves.
In the firelight of the torched out refineries, he sat upright the poster boy for the IMC, a poor man fights and dies for what a rich man only believes, sure as a blind man does not see the floor.
Then they sold us down the face of the mighty river, sold turpentine for tea. Hold me now it’s the evil liberator and he’s coming with a gang of thieves. And they say, no battleship too big for the war emporium. It’s give it all you got son and go back to where you’re from. ‘Cause we’re hiding in the wings, we’re the super neocons, we got bombs and they got barrels of gasoline.
You know you’ll have it coming if you say that there is nothing to see. In the desert night they listened for the baying of the hounds. But it wasn’t quite right no sign of the weather underground (but there was not a sign), and they were keepin’ a sharp eye (but) they never saw what they had found. At last it was only you and me.
Well they sold us down the face of the mighty river, sold turpentine for tea. Hold me now it’s the evil liberator and he’s coming with a gang of thieves.
‘Cause they say, no battleship too big for the war emporium. It’s give it all you got son and go back to where you’re from. Cause we’re hiding in the wings, we’re the super neocons. We got bombs and they got barrels of gasoline.
‘Cause you know you’ll have it coming if you say that there is nothing to see.

So much searing honesty in the most beautiful arrangements of words and harmonies. Storytelling and first person narratives in the songs that I resonate with deeply.
