You drained your blood into the boundary waters
With pioneers and natives
A thousand people who no one ever knew
Red White and Blue in the closest quarters
After the flags were burned
After the cocktails proved too strong
What will become of you then
Another asshole with a pamphlet
A wasted life, a broken gift, a pile of shit
Is what was given to you
But shockingly, you don’t feel much better now
The battle broke the man
Built your life on a bullshit stance and now you’re trapped with it
Why wouldn’t you show me the other hand
And I could rest on slower thoughts
Like a foreign appendage let in like an intruder
You are so different now
You are so different now
We never bother
We cant be bothered
The boldest never answer
The baddest always win
Why wouldn’t you show me the other hand
And I could rest on slower thoughts
Like a foreign appendage let in like an intruder
You are so different now
