    Current mood:awake

    "Our own ground" to the tune of "Long way around" by the Dixie Chicks

    My friends from high school
    Killed or got killed in Veet-Nam
    Screwed by the VA
    Gettin' the shaft where the sun don't shine
    But I could never swallow
    No, I I could never swallow

    I hit the highway
    Woodstock, Big Sur and Atitlan.
    Lived in Morrocco
    In a sleeping bag I got for cigarette stamps.
    My Dad's a long time gone now
    If not for the smokes he might still be around
    So I quit the devil weed somehow…

    Standin' on my ground
    Standin' my own ground
    Standin' on my ground
    Standin' on my own ground

    I met the video freaksters
    Jerry Moonbeam Brown and Grandpa Munster Al
    Hung with the squatters
    Beat the Time Warner goons in a federal suit

    Oh, I could never swallow
    No, I I could never swallow

    It's been six long years now
    Since the Word Trade Center came crashing down
    But I always knew it was Bush somehow

    Takin' the World Trade
    Takin' the World Trade down
    Takin' the World Trade
    Takin' the World Trade down and down and down and down…

    So we got our asses out of that town
    Never expecting what we found

    Well, I fought with a Gitter and I took some shit
    I shot off my mouth and I made it stick
    It can get pretty lonely when you stick out your neck
    Guess I could have been appeaser but what the heck

    Oh, I… could never swallow
    No, I… I could never swallow

    Karen and me we took to the hills
    We bought us a farm and we settled down
    If you ever want to find us we can still be found

    Standin' on our ground
    Standin' on our own ground
    Standin' on our ground
    Standin' on our own ground

    Shandaken (to the tune of Green Acres)

    Shan-daken is the place to be
    Pro-tected by the DEP
    Sniff-ing pine cones really gets me high
    Fuck Dean Gitter just gimme some country pie.

    No! Belleayre is where I'd rather stay
    I'm allergic to the CHA
    I just adore my algae wrap
    Starbucks coffee and any old chain mall crap.

    Da Da Da Da Da
    The Stars!
    Da Da Da Da Da
    The Spas!
    Da Da Da Da Da
    The Bears!
    Da Da Da Da Da
    Who cares?

    You are insane!
    Goodbye, Mrs. Jane
    Shandaken we are there!

    Da Da Da Dum Dum
    Da Da Da Dum Dum
    Da Da Da Da Da
    Da Da Da Da Da
    Da Da Da Da Da

    Bum Bum!
