[00:00]The New Wild West
[00:16]You see the ghost of the buffalo moving both fierce and slow
[00:21]Like glittering prophesies on the edge of the horizon
[00:29]As you drive glittering highways and beaten-up byways
[00:34]That straddle and girdle our great and many-faced nation
[00:42]You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos
[00:46]Believing in, never seeing, the strings they think bind them
[00:54]So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within
[01:01]And in return, they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show

[01:10]Welcome to the new wild west
[01:19]Each man for himself
[01:27]Civilized steeples
[01:30]And lonely people
[01:35]Welcome to the new wild west

[01:44]There are so many factions and cue-card reactions
[01:48]It's hard to keep clear the possibilities here 'cause there's no force to unite them
[01:58]Privilege has ruled for thousands of years
[02:03]Wars have been fought with bibles and tears
[02:07]Yet liberation can't deny the temptation and soon becomes the oppressor
[02:15]Show me a leader who's fit to lead
[02:20]Who don't sow his seed in anything wounded enough to breed
[02:24]Because after all, what fun is power if you can't act like a rock star?

[02:32]Welcome to the new wild west
[02:42]Each man for himself
[02:49]A nation of civilized steeples
[02:53]And lonely people
[02:57]Welcome to the new wild west

[03:21]As for me, I've been petty
[03:24]Oh, and unkind, but I know my own mind
[03:28]And since it seems clear there's no one leading us here
[03:32]The only thing left it appears is to task ourselves to be better each time, than those before us
[03:39]We'll be an army of thieves, of self-freed slaves, of mild-mannered maids
[03:46]We'll fight with whispers and blades
[03:48]So get ready, a new day is dawning

[03:57]Welcome to the new wild west
[04:06]Each man for himself
[04:14]A nation of civilized steeples
[04:18]And lonely people
[04:22]Welcome to the new wild west
