AMERICAN PESTORAL
FOR SOME TIME IVE FELT THIS WAY
AS I WATCHED THE THINGS I KNEW DRIFT AWAY
I STOOD APART FROM THE FRAY
ACTING THE PARTS IN A PASSION PLAY
BUT ALL AT ONCE THE WORLD TURNS GREY
AS OUR DESTINIES ARE REWRITTEN EVERYDAY
THE PLAGUE SPREADS FROM OUT WEST
THE NATIONS REVERSE MANIFEST
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A CURE
MISGUIDED SAGES I LISTENED TO
PERSONAL DARK AGES I LIVED THROUGH
VERNAL CAGES OF BAMBOO
I COULD NOT GAUGE AS THEY GREW
SPENDING TIME AWAY FROM THE HORDE
YOU WONDER WHAT WE WERE WORKING TOWARD
IS IT ALL TO STRIVE AND HOARD
FOR CHERISHED FLEECES OF THE WORKING POOR
ARE YOU WORKING FOR A CURE
CROOKED PIECES OF A LARGER SCENE
A SPECIES OUT OF HARMONY
TIRED DRUMS BEAT AS WE GRIEVE
FOR VALUES WE NEVER BELIEVED
I GUESS I HOPE WE CAN HOLD ON NOW
AND GET BACK TO THE FIELDS WE PLOWED
BUT IS IT TIME TO RENEW OUR VOWS
OR TURN THE SPIT ON THE SACRED COW
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A CURE
CAN YOU CHANGE THE WAY THINGS WERE
