Heard ‘em singin’ “this is my land” standin’ on Mama Helen’s   With the band off-key; will fill ‘em with jealousy   Well develop a gluttonous thirst for sullen fiends   I pilot the Allis Chalmers over skulls in the ravine   Chokin’ horse power – open her up and holler “fuck class”   Specialized degree in chemistry, huffin’ mustard gas   High hopes, underachiever he tends to overdose   Hella smell of smoke and soda, the mode is so morose   Nam vet, still in camouflage circa ‘85   Way to ride, son – I seen your father on the day he died   Dropped this in the pocket with the gem in the ear   Fuck the watch, old man, it’s the wisdom I wanna hear   Fought with the words, inexperienced in the expression   The voice fades, granted it’s a vague recollection but   “Let it pass,” is what he leant – what it meant? Never asked   Many mysteries will be revealed through the devil’s craft   I’m a fast study, barn burner, the charm turnin’   Ugly under sparks when sharpening up the cutlery   Skill a little rusty but trust me, I’mma resuscitate   This call is hard to kill off once it culminates   Hibernation, my obligation is contractual   Where have all the good men gone? They’re on sabbatical   Baptizing my goddaughter, water wash the hands of blood   But soles soiled with the sand and mud   For the love of them rise above and cleanse the sins   I can part with that much, just don’t touch the timbs   Every scuff I earned, armchair sucker-tough, I yearn   To compare it to the stuff I learned   Colonel status ‘til the graduate passed on, the pursuit of   Passion will stop upon a plot on Vashon   Nice one, boy – the soy that’s on the upper row   Price one; that’s a bison, not a buffalo   Hustle grand, seen a demand for organic   In toxicity limits – infinitely more panic   They’re resorting to importing plants from other planets   It cancels out the importance of the advantage   They’re tantric types – neophytes with dietary afflictions   Imposing proprietary restrictions   Time to go to war, shortly I’ll be back in Drennon   Attending to 40 acres and a dissident…
