Latent Patriot

1st Verse
Somewhere deep inside of me
I watch through a soldier's eyes
a walking' talking' patriotic man who's primed to fight
believing in posterity that one day war would set us free
walkin' talking' patriotic man inside of me...
I take the hand of freedom.
I shove it down my pants,
to formulate and stimulate,
the power of the lance.
I revel in the rivalries,
with a people that want me to not be free,
The walking, talking, patriotic,
fools across the sea.
I long to watch the mothers yearn,
to watch their eyes grow cold,
to clutch their aprons and stay behind
because the story must be told,
to pass along the heritage
of a people who tried their best to be,
the walking, talking, patriotic
mass that must be free.

Like A Warm Bed
04:24
|

Like a warm bed,
I stand ready to be used.
This warm and safe place waits for you.
So, turn me down, cuddle in, to my truth.
I know that you grow weary,
eyes too tired to see.
That's when you'll find,
I’ve got everything that you might need.
Soft lights and satin,
the time to dream,
the perfect pillow,
swallows all your screams.
Lay down. Lay down.
Come to me, run to me,
lay down.
Like a warm bed,
I will hold you through the night.
I’ll be your haven in the fight.
So, turn me down, cuddle in, tuck in tight
When your eyes grow heavy
and you're searching for some peace.
I’ll be here waiting for you
with everything that you might need.
Comfort and silence,
in quilted creams.
The perfect pillow,
cradles all your dreams.
Lay down. Lay down.
Come to me, run to me,
lay down.

I Didn't See It Comin'
03:48
|
|||
I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING,
BUT IT HIT ME JUST THE SAME.
NO TIME FOR RUNNING.
NO TIME TO CHANGE MY NAME.
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT MY LOVE FOR YOU,
COULD BE SOMETHING I WOULD BLAME.
BUT NEVER MIND ABOUT THE THINGS I THINK.
THEY DON'T MATTER ANYWAY.
I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING,
'CAUSE I DIDN'T THINK IT THROUGH.
BUT WHO'D OF EVER THOUGHT THAT I
WOULD EVER LOOSE MY LOVE FOR YOU.
IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT I WANTED.
WASN'T WHAT I MEANT FOR YOU.
BUT NEVER MIND ABOUT THE THINGS I WANT.
THEY ONLY MATTER IF THEY'RE TRUE.
ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN IN THE PLAN...
YOU MAKE YOUR MOVE THEN TAKE YOUR STANDS.
WHILE ALONG, IN FATES CRUEL HAND,
YOU ONLY HOPE TO UNDERSTAND.

Legacy
04:48
|
|||
I was born and bred to hurt
and then taught it very young
the vessel and the legacy
presented as a son.
Well I was tortured with old agonies
and fondled with distrust
I stoped to love with a broken heart
and just a token of disgust

It's Gonna Fall On You
04:56
|
|||
DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE.
DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU KNOW.
DOESN’T MATTER IF THEY BENT THE RULES,
JUST FOR YOU,
JUST TO EASE YOUR LOAD.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU,
ANYWAY.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE YOU STAND.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU PLAN.
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU TRY TO RUN,
OR HOLD YOUR GROUND AND TAKE YOUR STAND.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU,
ANYWAY.
(CHORUS)
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR SAY.
IT’S GOING TO FOLLOW YOU AND KETCH UP SOME DAY.
IT DON’T MATTER IF YOU LOCK THE DOOR.
IT’S GOING TO SPRING UP AT YOU FROM EVERY FLOOR,
AND THEN IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU.
IT DON’T MATTER WHATS AT STAKE.
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT PILLS YOU TAKE.
IT DON’T MATTER IF THEY HELP YOU DREAM,
OR JUST KEEP YOU UP AWAKE.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU,
ANYWAY.
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT TOOLS YOU TOTE.
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT YOU BUILT OR WROTE.
IT DON’T MATTER IF THEY’VE COME TO HEAR YOUR TRUTH,
OR JUST COME OUT TO SEE THE JOKE.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU,
ANYWAY.
(CHORUS)
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR SAY.
IT’S GOING TO FOLLOW YOU AND THEN CATCH UP SOMEDAY.
IT DON’T MATTER IF YOU PLEAD SOME MORE.
IT’S GOING TO FIND YOU BEHIND EVERY DOOR,
AND THEN IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU.
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO.
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY.
IT DON’T MATTER IF THE SUN COMES AGAIN,
AND THERE’S ANOTHER DAY.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU,
ANYWAY.
IT DON’T MATTER HOW WISE YOU SPOKE.
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT RULES YOU BROKE.
IT DON’T MATTER IF THEY HANG YOU NOW,
OR JUST SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR YOU TO CHOKE.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU.
IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU,
ANYWAY.
(CHORUS)
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR SAY.
IT’S GOING TO FOLLOW YOU AND THEN CATCH UP SOME DAY.
IT DON’T MATTER IF YOU PLEAD SOME MORE.
IT’S GOING TO SPRING UP AT YOU FROM EVERY FLOOR,
AND THEN IT’S GOING TO FALL ON YOU.

One Legged Pony
03:52
|
|||
I’ve been riding around on a one legged pony,
pretending I was riding down to Brazil,
in a long standing dream of crossing the border,
in a test of my strength and my will.
There would be long lonely nights out under the stars,
watching the moonlight try not to hide
and dreams about a brown legged lady
who was waiting for me to arrive.
It's all just a dream
for all that we know.
It's just a fantastical roam.
if I never find time
for exploring the world,
there's still so much adventure
at home.
I’ve been riding around in long lazy circles
watching the mountains come and go,
singing my songs of my loves and my futures
and things I might never know.
The sun would be bright and hard on my shoulders,
riding my pony through dust and through sand.
I’d be thinking about that brown legged lady
who was waiting to take my hand.
I’ve been riding around on a one legged pony
pretending I was riding down to Brazil,
and riding straight up to that brown legged lady
who was waiting up over the hill.

Desperation
06:04
|
|||
Desperation put me back out on the road again,
To look for love to take me home.
Desperation put me back out on the road again,
I did not want to go.
I live up on the hill.
I've got a fancy house, and fancy car.
I thought that would be everything she'd need.
I bought her jewels, and precious things, to weight her down.
I never dreamed that she would leave.
Desperation put her back out on the road again,
to look for love to take her home.
Desperation put her back out on the road again,
I know she did not want to...
She did not want to…
She did not want to go.
She said that diamonds are only hard cold stones...
You've got to keep a little something left to burn.
And that big old house will not save you from the cold,
when you find it is your turn.
And Desperation puts you back out on the road again,
To look for love to take you home.
Desperation puts you back out on the road again.
And you will not want to…
You will not want to...
You will not want to go.

The Cold Rushes In
04:40
|
|||
The seasons break.
I lose my conceptions.
I thought that summer would last all year long.
I didn't think. I didn't plan for the future.
Now, I can see just where I went wrong.
You left me here so cold,
with a mass of frozen dreams.
And the place I long to be
is a thousand miles down south of me.
And now, the cold rushes in on me.
I didn't move.
I didn't take the precautions.
I didn't keep a little on the side just for luck.
Now, the cold's creeping in all around me.
I can see just how bad I'm stuck.
I didn't think that you could do it,
take my loving all in fun.
But, I hear that your real happy,
down south playing in the sun.
While the cold rushes in on me.
My windows broken and I'm seeing all too clear.
There's a cloud bank moving up on the rear.
Now, the colds blowing in, straight through my bones.
I can see that I'm all alone.
I didn't think that you could do it,
take my loving on the run.
I hear that you still have it with you,
down south, baking in the sun.
While the cold rushes in on me.

Genuflectin' Blues
04:20
|
|||
You walk into the room
you hear that woman yell
sometimes this life can be a living hell
you'll do anything just to shut her up
but she's got you on you knees
like a whining' pup...oh no
oh no , I think my knees are scraping the floor
I've got them...Genuflectin' blues
Seems like every time I turn around
some self-righteous person is putting' me down
tellin' me...i'm livin' in sin
give that guy another swig of gin...oh no
oh no..think my knees are scraping' the floor
I got those genuflectin' blues
It doesn't matter now
cause either's the same
you to work or you stay at home
lots of crazy people bitchin' at me
they're just about driving me.....insane
I got those...Genuflectin' blues
You walk into the room
you hear that woman yell
sometimes this life can be a living hell
you'll do anything to shut her up
but she's got me on my knees
like a whining' pup...oh no
oh no, I think my knees are scraping' the floor
I've got those Genuflectin' blues

Ain't Time A Funny Thing
04:32
|
|||
I DREAMED I WAS SEVENTEEN
STARTING LIFE ALL OVER
MAKING THE MOVES I NEVER MADE
AND I DREAMED THAT I WAS YOUNG AND BOLD
WITH NO NEED TO RECOVER
FROM ALL THE MISTAKES THAT I HAVE MADE
(CHORUS)
AIN'T TIME A FUNNY THING
THE PAST IS GONE
BUT STILL REMAINS
LIES RIGHT THERE BESIDE YOU
BUT CAN'T BE CHANGED
AIN’T TIME A FUNNY THING
I DREAMED THAT I WAS SEVENTEEN
WITHOUT MY FEAR OF FAILURE
THAT'S ALWAYS KEPT MY SPIRIT TAMED
AND I DREAMED THAT I COULD START ALL OVER
WITHOUT THE FEAR AND PAIN
THAT THE PAST REALY COULD BE CHANGED
(CHORUS)

Perpetual Dilemma
06:32
|
|||
Lately I've been wondering' what to do with my life
lately I've been pondering' on what is wrong
and what is right
You gotta make some money
in this old world ...to survive.
but I rather make some music
try and keep my head and heart alive.
Would you like to go woah oh oh to Mexico....today?
We could laugh and run and sing and dance our cares away...
La la. la lalala...la la lala la oh lay
La la la lalala..la la lala la oh lay
(trill) yeah -yeah yeah yeah yeah
Would you like to go to Mexico...wouldY ou like to go?
Lately I've been wondering' what is wrong and what is right
Lately I've been pondering' what to do with my life
If I were to sing you a lullaby tonight
would it make you happy?
Or would it make you...uptight?
Can you answer me...that?
