They’ve started firing guys
my time is coming soon
that’s the way things go
out of beer in this saloon
Who am I to doubt their lies
we need the best and so we pay, right?
keeps striking me as odd, though
someone’s wealth, the other’s plight
We die by happenstance,
that’s also how we live
you can only change this dance
by learning how to give
we are vociferous,
carnivorous,
and generally unsound
predatory,
hereditary,
a pest as yet unbound
Living it low on the hog, we are
Look on the horizon
it’s the horsemen drawing close
Four horsemen drawing close
war, conquest, famine, death
Some of them now on the run
to the promised land
others think that’s under our sun
drowning hand in hand
Who are we to doubt that we
will somehow make it right?
we have always just hung back
so why can’t we tonight?
it’s in our nature to want more
makes it our duty to need more
bridge
war, conquest, famine, death
Four horsemen drawing close
Look at the horizon; learn to love.
