lyrics

It was the fall of Saigon
I was looking for a copy of the New York Times
To keep as a gift for my kids when I am gone
Just to prove I had some fun

They built the hydrogen bomb
I checked the weather over coffee
I’ve been feeling fine
Made tracks across the water just to prove it can be done
Never meant to hurt no one

And I’m worried I’ve been losing sight
Confused the TV screen for firelight
These are the things that keep me up at night
While I am safe and warm

And I’m ready to give up the fight
I’ve got a silent bark and toothless bite
It’s so much easier to run and hide
And shelter from the storm

A fourteen year old boy with a gun
Shoots the sky in sycophantic syncopation
The music of misinformation
I tap my toes along to that most lucrative song

They put the whole world in the palm of my hand
So I squeezed a little tighter
Just to let you know the chaos now is under my control
And what great fun
To put the squeeze on everyone
