00:00The New Wild West
00:16You see the ghost of the buffalo moving both fierce and slow
00:21Like glittering prophesies on the edge of the horizon
00:29As you drive glittering highways and beaten-up byways
00:34That straddle and girdle our great and many-faced nation
00:42You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos
00:46Believing in, never seeing, the strings they think bind them
00:54So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within
01:01And in return, they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show
01:10Welcome to the new wild west
01:19Each man for himself
01:27Civilized steeples
01:30And lonely people
01:35Welcome to the new wild west
01:44There are so many factions and cue-card reactions
01:48It's hard to keep clear the possibilities here 'cause there's no force to unite them
01:58Privilege has ruled for thousands of years
02:03Wars have been fought with bibles and tears
02:07Yet liberation can't deny the temptation and soon becomes the oppressor
02:15Show me a leader who's fit to lead
02:20Who don't sow his seed in anything wounded enough to breed
02:24Because after all, what fun is power if you can't act like a rock star?
02:32Welcome to the new wild west
02:42Each man for himself
02:49A nation of civilized steeples
02:53And lonely people
02:57Welcome to the new wild west
03:21As for me, I've been petty
03:24Oh, and unkind, but I know my own mind
03:28And since it seems clear there's no one leading us here
03:32The only thing left it appears is to task ourselves to be better each time, than those before us
03:39We'll be an army of thieves, of self-freed slaves, of mild-mannered maids
03:46We'll fight with whispers and blades
03:48So get ready, a new day is dawning
03:57Welcome to the new wild west
04:06Each man for himself
04:14A nation of civilized steeples
04:18And lonely people
04:22Welcome to the new wild west
