about

2007 at the Dollar Short Ranch.

lyrics

i had an American dream
i rolled it up into a zig-zag paper and smoked it as a means
to get me to that higher ground
where i could look down and see history before it rolled round

that's where i met some friends
who led me to my ordination
so that i could cash in on that last days coronations

we took a chance that god wore a skirt instead of the pants

hope crashes in
it's drowning you, disfiguring me
hope crashes in
like the smell of despair but with the sick taste of gin

what about those cheerleader girls
who punched up your sister when she was just a kid in school?
all those beautiful twirls
masquing twisted intentions to be cruel

so that when the sky comes down
got to keep your eyes open
see the method in the madness
