lyrics
A cottonmouth on sleeker streets
Hammers on the heads of the salt of the earth
You never thought they'd make it this far
Word travels faster than floods nowadays
Well maybe they were right as rain
Accustomed to snowdrifts, brimstone, homesteaders steadying homes
The magazines are empty
Mothers ring out, pushing their daughters from Amsterdam
Buried their sons next to their fathers in a hastily drawn sunrise mass
Where Bachelor Buttons abound, but wear thin from constancy
Superlatives tethered to the hegemonic, and demonic, sneaks in an ominous throw
You wanted to be in the know
The gifted and litigious bulletproof their interests
shored against the newest crisis: inadequate land
They've pulled the wool, the rugs, the stops and this time
We can't afford to take latches & leaches to lap up the last of our preachers
Ice shelves calve & greet the Atlantic
Hung our heads in towns built on the mind of a slipshod mechanic
Mothers ring out, pushing their daughters from Amsterdam
Buried their sons next to their fathers in a hastily drawn sunrise mass
Bachelor Buttons abound here, but wear thin from constancy
