"You Were Born To Be In Battle"

"You Were Born To Be In Battle"


It's the spring of your time
And the time has come
The open road will seize you
Won't you roll to a stop
Won't you gaze at the drop
And the awful miles before you?

Take care where you step
Don't you know that it stifled
The life above you strangle
Stay right if you can
Oh, you poor old man
You were born to be in battle

In the summer you'll find
That you rolled us aside
A tangled man-made thicket
Take care you don't lean
With your toes in a string
That sweeps away the river

Survey all you see
'Cause there's still time to leave
The prior hand of ramble
Stay right if you can
Oh, you poor old man
You were born to be in battle

In the fall of your time
You're astounded to find
So much is now behind you
With tears of your own
You'll be scared 'fore you know
Just walk the dark and [?]

Tell them what I told you
In days of your youth
What's well within the travel
Stay right if you can
Oh, you poor old man
You were born to be in battle

In the winter of life
You'll be asked for your life
Lay down, all forts surrender
And all that is you
That is precious and true
As your full price, you'll tender

And I will look on
But I long for you, son
Don't [?]
Stay right if you can
Oh, you poor old man

You were born to be in battle

"You Were Right"

"You Were Right"


Outside the cool world is raging
Inside it's cold and it's dark
The walls in this place are like canvas
None of these deadbeats here work.

All the way back in April
The year of our Lord '86
I broke a switch on the light bulb
I ain't been quite the same since.

Voice in my head says it's best not said
Wondering how much of it's true.

You were right, I'm wrong for you
You were right, I'm wrong for you.

Outside the choppers are hovering
Outside the dogs have been loosed
The theme of this party's still hanging
One prop they brought was a noose.

And outside the cool world is raging
But inside it's over by ten
If I had friends, they'd be here right now
I'd give my eye teeth for friends.

And sooner or later it's bound to get better
Sooner or later won't do.

You were right, I'm wrong for you
You were right, I'm wrong for you
You were right, I'm wrong for you.
