[00:13.44]You know where I come from
[00:16.71]You know what I feel
[00:19.97]You're Yul Brenner Westworld
[00:22.84]Reporting from the field.
[00:26.20]I threw it into reverse,
[00:28.76]Made a motion to repeal.
[00:32.59]You kicked my legs from under me,
[00:35.58]And tried to take the wheel.
[00:39.15][01:36.87]I told you I wanted to be wrong, 
[00:43.36][01:40.80]But everyone is humming a song
[00:47.13][03:08.47]That I don't understand.
[00:55.07]Now I know that the sun has shined on my side of the street. 
[01:01.37]The basket of America, the weevils and the wheat.
[01:07.73]The milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple-cheeked
[01:14.09]Salute Apollo 13 from the rattle jewelry seats.
[01:20.53]Mythology's seductive and it turned a trick on me
[01:27.16]That I have just begun to understand.
[01:44.80]That I don't understand. 
[02:18.29]The rodeo is staged, gold circle goat-ropers and clowns. 
[02:24.75]A rumble in the third act, tie 'em up and burn 'em down. 
[02:31.28]We're armed to the teeth, born a little breech; 
[02:37.91]Blue-plate special analysts, cells and SUV's
[02:44.31]We can't approach the Allies 'cause they seem a little peeved
[02:50.69]And speak a language we don't understand. 
[03:00.56]I told you I wanted to be wrong
[03:04.41]But everyone is humming a song 
[03:43.66]Storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite.
[03:49.93]Did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets? 
[03:56.44]Destroy the things that I don't understand
[04:03.00]Destroy the things that I don't understand.
