Like a Soldier
Live
~~*~~
I just come down from the mountain
A happy man
Turned on the television
should've chewed off my hand
I'm sick of all the false glory
"In God we trust"
Show me one dollar bill that
hasn't passed through the cusp
And if you break my will
I will come back again
To destroy everything you stood for
I will go on
Like a soldier through the storms of love
And I take you back,
Take you away from here
My friend
And charge you up again
We just come down from the mountain
Where the breezes were blowin'
And everything was growin'
Like some tree in the bush
Still I gotta live my life here
With some pretty scary brethren
But now I'm a rebel on a mission baby
To live and die by my smile
And if you break my will
I will come back again
To destroy everything you stood for
I will go on
Like a soldier through the storms of love
And I take you back
Take you away from here
My friend
And charge you up again
Charge you up again
Charge you up again, yeah
Let's go to Ray's, not to Pizza Hut
Let's go to the pig, not to Starbucks
Let's vote for Nader, what're we waitin' for?
I'm gonna live to be a hundred and sixty-four
To the crib then back to the studio
To write a song so good
Make a midget grow
From the north pole, down to Mexico
If you don't know the words, fuck it!
Let's go!
I will go on
Like a soldier through the storms of love
And I take you back
Take you away from here
My friend
And charge you up again
Charge you up again
Charge you up again!

More Live will eventually appear on this playlist.
They were a quirky group,
one claimed by both the left and the right,
with this song not helping that fight at all.
I can't quite grok the message in it;
I just know I like it a great deal.
I think both the left and the right
need to stop their incessant culture wars
and just ... you know ... chill the fuck out.
Let shit be.
Yeah. Right. Like that's ever going to happen.
