Nautical |
| The day that civil glory dismembered my civility |
| I could have parted ribs and flesh like a different kind of Red Sea |
| Drowned the ancient East in western progress |
| Custom and the least of all our pride and sentiments |
| Which turned out to be the closest thing to a fashion trend |
| That’s ever been put on trial |
| Which turned out to be the closest thing to a fashion trend |
| That’s ever been put on trial |
| The rest was cast off as denial of statehood and mastery; |
| The ultimate form of treason is the treacherous use of reason |
| Employed by the bastard sons of American forefathers who keep this fire burning |
| With the flesh of their would-be American daughters, daughters, daughters, |
| daughters! |
| What will happen to our children when the least of us pass on? |
| Us who fought the monsters of our country’s crowded closet |
| Us who dropped the bombs on goodness when we saw it wasn’t flawless |
| Us whose youthful life was hostage to what harm did |
| Us who fought the hardest to be swept under the carpet |
| And I’m still a cigarette softly smoking on the edge of a metal ashtray |
| I begged this place to let me burn, and it whispered, «burn away.» |
