No Light - Those Poor Bastards

The machines, they took over

So I packed my saddle

And headed out west to the prairie

I came to a river

And held my head under

Baptized myself in its glory

In the cities they’re all hypnotized

There’s no light in anyone’s eyes

I ride an old paint

Got a sack on my shoulder

Gonna find out where I came from

I want to live simple

But not simple minded

Chained to the judgement of no one

In the cities they’re all hypnotized

There’s no light in anyone’s eyes

I sleep when I’m hungry

I eat when I’m tired

At sunset I rest by the campfire

The whippoorwhill moanin'

The milkweed a-bloomin'

Never do cease for to inspire

In the cities they’re all hypnotized

There’s no light in anyone’s eyes

And when night has fallen

The wolves come a-huntin'

An eerie moon glows on my shoulder

I talk to the trees

I sing with the birds

Content in the wonder of nature

In the cities they’re all hypnotized

There’s no light in anyone’s eyes

No beast half as bad

As the parasite Man

He’s poisoned the air and the water

But now his own greed

Got him down on his knees

I welcome you all to the slaughter

In the cities they’re all hypnotized

There’s no light in anyone’s eyes

No one to cry

When man do die

No one to cry

When man do die
