[00:00.00]The New Wild West
[00:16.00]You see the ghost of the buffalo moving both fierce and slow
[00:21.00]Like glittering prophesies on the edge of the horizon
[00:29.00]As you drive glittering highways and beaten-up byways
[00:34.00]That straddle and girdle our great and many-faced nation
[00:42.00]You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos
[00:46.00]Believing in, never seeing, the strings they think bind them
[00:54.00]So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within
[01:01.00]And in return, they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show
[01:10.00]Welcome to the new wild west
[01:19.00]Each man for himself
[01:27.00]Civilized steeples
[01:30.00]And lonely people
[01:35.00]Welcome to the new wild west
[01:44.00]There are so many factions and cue-card reactions
[01:48.00]It''s hard to keep clear the possibilities here ''cause there''s no force to unite them
[01:58.00]Privilege has ruled for thousands of years
[02:03.00]Wars have been fought with bibles and tears
[02:07.00]Yet liberation can''t deny the temptation and soon becomes the oppressor
[02:15.00]Show me a leader who''s fit to lead
[02:20.00]Who don''t sow his seed in anything wounded enough to breed
[02:24.00]Because after all, what fun is power if you can''t act like a rock star?[02:32.00]Welcome to the new wild west
[02:42.00]Each man for himself
[02:49.00]A nation of civilized steeples
[02:53.00]And lonely people
[02:57.00]Welcome to the new wild west
[03:21.00]As for me, I''ve been petty
[03:24.00]Oh, and unkind, but I know my own mind
[03:28.00]And since it seems clear there''s no one leading us here
[03:32.00]The only thing left it appears is to task ourselves to be better each time, than those before us
[03:39.00]We''ll be an army of thieves, of self-freed slaves, of mild-mannered maids
[03:46.00]We''ll fight with whispers and blades
[03:48.00]So get ready, a new day is dawning
[03:57.00]Welcome to the new wild west
[04:06.00]Each man for himself
[04:14.00]A nation of civilized steeples
[04:18.00]And lonely people
[04:22.00]Welcome to the new wild west
