Intro

Mutes they like to protest

 to disagree between the lines

 where the mass majority hide

And on the news it’s like Mardi Gras

 every night with their shirts off

 to shine your ears and eyes

In a restaurant booth

 I cut my tooth

 on pictures of our sable justice

given the facts who can relax so easy on death?

Love ain’t something I remember

trust ain’t something I afford no one

lately I remember to forget

can’t get shot in the back if you don’t run

can’t get shot in the back if you don’t run

My fate it lies with someone

 each stranger I’m a part of

and them of I

Across continents and oceans

 transplanted the Great Divide

even though the Rockies they ain’t moved none

In an airport lounge

 I try and drown

the pictures of our sable justice

given the facts who can relax so easy on death?

Love ain’t something I remember

trust ain’t something I afford no one

lately I remember to forget

can’t get shot in the back if you don’t run
