lyrics

YEARS

Of all the dust and drapery
And oven coils and trails
Of all long lost machinery
That rattled down the rails

The quiet calm economy
The melting and profane
Good humor in a shopping cart
The army can’t contain

Create the glow of afterlife
The modern micro-brew
The damage and the escapades
The jolly can’t undo

The disappointed revelry
Of all our lives in vain
Replace the truth of misery
The army can’t contain
