about

recorded at Magic Island Studios, Charleston, WV 2005
mixed and produced by j. travis morton

lyrics

riddle me this batman
what do you get when
you cross a man with a god, then what dooya get?
political bloodstains
they cover the hallways
he said dictatorship would be alot easier.
fuck fighting the front lines
i belong on the sidelines
get out there soldier and taking some names
cuz its all just a movie
and i'm harrison ford, see
so just keep playing these old patriot games

if i see your squinty face one more time
i might just drop my hands to the side and say why me? [why me?]
why oh why did i have to be alive oh- in- this- very moment in time
in america in 2005...
i could be in the seventies laying jive
but goddam here- i- am- and its now,
so what the hell? i put the lyrics down
and hope somebody else says it again and again and again until we pull the pin
on this rotation get it spun
isnt that how gravity 's begun?
let loose the laws of nature on W
we'll see if god is on his side...

and the war's begun
get to moving on
get to moving on
and the end is near
get to going now
get to going now

my question is this, el capitan
do you have a new plan?
you could rely on us to get it done.
just give us the car-keys
youve heard of a DD
cuz i'm afraid your sleeping at the wheel.
come strong with the big greed
make them all want the big green
i hear jack whittaker's a christian too
cuz its all just a movie
and i'm mister magoo, see
so i'll keep playing these old patriot games

if i see your fucking face one more time
i might just throw my hands to the sky and say right here! [right here!]
why oh why did i have to be alive oh- in- this- very moment in time
in america in 2005...
i could be in the renaissance, painting signs
but goddam here- i- am- and its now,
so what the hell? i put the lyrics down
and hope somebody else says it again and again and again until we pull the pin
on this new nation get it grown
isnt that how tiny seeds are sown
let loose the laws of nature on republicans
tell them god takes no sides.

and the war's begun
get to moving on
get to moving on
and the end is near
get to going now
get to going now
feel free to swear
these things are worthy of
some things are worthy of
a little dying here
a little dying there
get to moving on
