go buy the record 'lonesome crowded west' and it will change your life.

lyrics

well all the apostles are sitting in swings
saying 'i'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings
and some sandals with the style of straps
that cling best to the era'

and all of the businessers in their unlimited hell
and they buy and the sell
and the sell all their trash to each other
and they're sick of it all
and they're bankrupt on selling

and all of the angels would sell off yr soul
for a set of new rings and anything gold
they remember the people they loved, their old friends
and i've seen through 'em all
seen through most everything

all the people you knew were the actors

well i'll go to college and i'll learn some big words
and i'll speak up real loud
goddamned right i'll be heard
you'll remember the guy who knew all those big words
he must have learned in college

well it took a long time before i came clean with myself
fell clean out of love with my lover
i still love her
loved her more when i was sober
and she was kinder
