How the West Was Won

Train arrived August 8th 1878
Crossing the noyo through deep mountain tunnels
California western rail through the red woods and the great sierra
Train arrived on time August 8th 1878
Knuckles cracked man strapped on his cap
Buffalos cleared pushed off the cliffs the men'll never see
them
My daughter's never seen them
Sit atop a mountain of skulls a Tyrant of the addled pack
The same man waded through the crowd
Men women children's waiting by the rail
IIt's time he deal with the buffalo men
A mans man he'll deal with this just like his father taught
August 8 1878 red skinned man west far to west is he
Stickin' like a sore thumb
No needle in a haystack
But a brackish tea not so much does the queen desire
The red skinned man fights for his daughter, buffalo men take her away!
His land is gone he fights a fight a dead fight but a man's man he'll never quit
He picks one target off the train
Follows back down to the cedar lake
The iron horse weakens him his bones crack with just a swing
Man cried out cross the cedar lake
Sheriff sheriff look this injun breaks
But the red skinned man was long long gone
The white men weakened by the iron horses puffing clouds
He's plotting his revenge on the passengers of the western
California railroad tracks the innocent mimick the tyrants of the innocent
Tyrants of this addled pack
Inspire this red skinned hypocrite
But a man's man this man this red skinned man will addle this whole new pack
This whole new pack cries to sheriffs and to deputies
I say what to do oh what to do when the deputies turn their heads away oh god forbid that they become the threat to you like you've become the threat to this group of lowly buffalo

Roads To Go West

Roads to go west in America
Ride back the old west and come to be alone
And then you're fucked
Roads to go west
Roads to go west
It's like
It's like heaven but they're speaking spanish
Speaking tongues and I might as not hear them
I don't and I don't care well
They're speaking, I'm just here
They're speaking and I'm just workin'
Roads to go west
Roads to go west
Leading leading on
Leading leading on
Leading leading on
Leading leading on
Till we're all out of gas
Or a gasket broke and
We're out here outback don't speak spanish
Roads to go west
Roads to go west
Goin' too far cause they're leading leading on
And we're all fucked now but just don't know
Cause I'm fucked here might as well be fucked there
I'd like some comfort maybe old western
Don't I deservere a little old western
Back back saddle up take a little novacaine
Block a little NA so I don't feel the pain
I'm all smiles
I'm all smiles
Way out west
Well
Roads to go west
Roads to go west
It's like heaven but they're speaking spanish
Speaking tongues and I might as not hear them
I don't care and I don't care well
Theyre speaking, I'm just here
They're speaking and I'm just workin'
9 to 5 or 9 to 9
Never see sunshine but that's why I came
But I'm fucked there and now I'm fucked here
Picking away at my time slot
Till my time card's punched
And I've broken all the clocks
Working for a paycheck to make a better casket
Maybe make some friends so they'll show a little interest
Maybe make some friends so they'll make it an appointment
Working real hard just to have a better funeral
Roads to go west
Roads to go west
Follow down down till we're all out of gas
Goin' too far cause they're leading leading on
And we're all fucked now but just don't know
Cause I'm fucked here might as well be fucked there
I'd like some comfort maybe old western
Don't I deservere a little old western
Maybe take the highway
Maybe take the long way
Maybe make it lawful
Maybe make it halfway
But we all just end up breaking all the clocks
As long as I don't break everybody's clocks
Maybe maybe they'll come see my casket

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die
Two lovers entwined pass me by
and heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been the house too long" she said
and I naturally fled
In my life
why do I smile
at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been the house too long" she said
and I naturally fled
In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die
