lyrics

See how this has thrashed me so?
I'm cracked, you laugh,
And slacken your rope.

I crave the lofty luster
The pearl and the prize,
Not these vulgar frames.

But my brittle will breaks, veering,
Drift, slip, like a landslide,
And I'm soiled again.
Yellow-bellied and quivering.

But brother, what about the concord?
What about the concord?

Because this is not your war,
My plights, my fights,
Are they but Jerkwater?

What of my cock-eyed leaning?
These fickle fears and scarlet years
Don't they pass, unbent and unwound?

Does your cannon
Curb my taint?
I'm sick of your errant shots,
Your redwood pride
And cacophony.

You know nothing, and see nothing,
By callow, or elect.
Where am I to go?
Once, this was my home.

Brother, what about the concord,
What about the concord?
