lyrics

Have been going over Jordan
On the steps of some old folk
On the top of a bus
With a gun and some liquor i traded for my heart
Been going down the Kings Highway
Rocking out in my favorite rocking chair
All the good people waving in the sideway
I think they all favor that I’m here

Mirrors in the sky tell me I’m as safe as I can be
Behind the sand dunes lie the long fields of green
No time for understanding
No time for long talks
Gonna get it to the men in the glass towers
Earn me my good reward

If you don't dance with us
You don't get to dance at all
Tell you, once you see those fields
You'll hear the call

I placed a lot of bullet holes in the walls of Beirut
And I helped a lot of kings stay in power
Way longer than they should
I stayed around when they had
The wall build around the bank
Sat and stirred up a storm in my coffee
In the back of a generals tank

Well you don’t get to like me
But you get to love the way you drive your car
You don’t get that much to say
But to be safe wherever you are
And to bathe in modern world decadence
That is all

Well I wish I were an apple
I would be dangling from a tree
Would make my branch do all the work
While I grow fat and sweet
I would just be hanging there in the sun
Swaying and bobbing in the breeze
Comes a time when I have to come down
I say I go down with a swing
Well I would start brewing man
Throw myself for the critters down beneath
Yeah I'd start fermenting man
Tell you, all the roaches ants and bees
Their guts gonna be grounded in sweet liquor
They'd be strung out for weeks

I tell you, I know what we need
You and me
Take a drink, let it go
No point in going against the stream
Take a few more we'll bring you home
And you'll forget all about people like me
