Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I don't wanna go to war
And I don't wanna have to fight
'Cause I don't wanna be right
I don't wanna be right
So swerve a little in the road
The curve will take your cruise control
Or you could hit the ghost pine
I can see the headline
"Poor Tree, Man Died"
[Verse 2]
Or maybe we move slow?
Or we don't even go?
Or maybe we should fight somewhere in a field at night?
Straw man coming for the scarecrow
Straw man coming for the scarecrow
"No Brains in the Meadow"
I was amenable, but this is petro-chemical
So now I need relief
You're so ethereal
It's so immaterial
It beggars some belief (Yeah)
[Outro]
"No Change, Yes Grief"
Reading aloud your chapter and verse
It's got me so beat down that I might order a hearse
I got no room and I feel all alone
Still it feels like you could eat me out of house and home
In my headline
