The American situation Is on our minds again And I don't know if I've been here before We would try to go to sleep But we're running around in circles For fear of falling down we can't get up And I wait for the morning light To burn away the slings and arrowsflying through the night And I am home But I am not a man They will try to take the things That you can't hold down with your hands So hold them down A war across an ocean Is like a dream from which you've woken If you don't like what you seethen go to sleep But the smell of smoke is in your hair And your heavy heart is always there It's always there It's always there It's always there And I wait for the morning light To burn away the slings and arrowsflying through the night And I am home But I am not a man They will try to take your crown If you can't hold it down In the darkness of the winter time I will try to take you home In the long grass of evening time And I wait for the morning light To burn away the slings and arrowsflying through the night And we must wait for this to pass us by And I will try to close my eyes I will try to close my eyes And I wait for the morning light To burn away the slings and arrowsflying through the night And I am home But I am not a man I will try to take you home If you can't hold it down So hold it down So hold it down Yeah yeah yeah yeah
