lyrics

Onward Christian soldiers, the turncoats own the land
And there are no scriptures left here to glean
from the echoes of the sky and the sand
So lace up your boots, extinguish your fires,
And we'll send out word to your children
Oh, and won't all your neighbors be relieved
Though none of them will ask what you've been fighting for
'Cause none of them believe

Behind the iron gate to your family's old compound stand a tree
And in its branches you will find an answer
To a question which has haunted you for years
On your knees, my boy
Your flag is shredded
And all of us could take or leave your tears
It must feel so lonely
You must feel so alone
Welcome to the show

about

David Brown Bloomington, Indiana

Helicopters fly overhead. Cars rush by the window. Talkin' Neo-Nothing Blues. Escalators and hammering. A media grape-stomping.
