My Vien Ilin - Ted Leo

My Vien Ilin - Ted Leo
And when I was seventeen I made myself a DMZ
But they continue bombing me hot and steadily
They divided me at seventeen I declared myself a DMZ
But they conitnue bombing me incessantly
Dig in vien ilin Dig in today
The Americans are on their way
American Bombs Away Dig in today
We make our days as they make us as Odysseys
Make myself my own telemachus
'Bous Stephanos Stephanoumenous Dedalus '
And if it hasn't been a bust then 'Land-ho Ulysseus '
And all of us like dedalus:
Dead Dead all of us
Between the dense red clay and the deep blue sea
What horrors rage internally
And whatreactions chemically through synapses so awfully
Conducting electricity and conerting less efficiently
What porential energy for this life of endless tunneling
So deep beneath the DMZ lightless of necessity
Their baoombs are heard incessantly
Our days they make us clearly
