lyrics

In the not-so-distant present
In the fields of gold
There’s a rail-rattling story
That must be told
Of a once-small devising gone awry
Adolescent in the scope
But a tarpit to our time

The mover and the shaker
Sit at the table alone
It’s just a hungry baby and a bad jawbone
Guzzling progress
Guzzling speed
Making plans to eradicate the chicory weed

But don’t forget, we’re doing this for you
I think I’m gonna ride it through
Everybody grooving
To those breadbasket blues

They’ve got an army
Can’t be seen or caught
Making post on every school of thought
Stretch-fingered mission
Pointed overreach
Into the acres and the bellies
Of every chum like me

But don’t forget, we’re doing this for you
This mass on my neck, it grew and grew
Everybody pulsing and convulsing
To those breadbasket blues

We are spitting in our napkins
We are asking why
A hundred years
Since we’ve seen the finches fly
All that I’m asking is to untie
The cables from the tables
To the ladder in the manmade sky

But don’t forget, we’re doing this for you
Intubation time is through
And a shot rang out across the prairie
Can’t you hear
Those breadbasket blues
