One of my favs...

lyrics

FERAL w&m: bill mallonee admin BMI 2018
I'm not sure how we got here
but we arrived here just the same
scratching out the land...
for the minimal gain
once there was the mother country
but that's all gone & left
now it's all snickering & glares
and curses beneth the breath

Chorus:
And the news is wrapped around my feet
to try and keep them warm and dry
Feral? That would be all of us
most of the time...

Now, dreams can be a dangerous thing
to pin your hopes on
working making little ones
out of the big ones
A strike is bound to bury dreams
and every act of will
and send you scrapping for the bread lines
...to keep out the chill

Cast your grain upward to the sky
and the chaff disappeared
The ways and means of life's threshing floor
are made abundantly clear
Play a new chord and the old king dies
but another stakes his claims
I'm not sure where we came from
but we got here just the same
