New Wild West - Jewel

[00:0.25]New Wild West (Album Version) - Jewel
[00:17.07]You see the ghosts of the buffalo
[00:19.14]Moving both fierce and slow
[00:21.89]Like glittering prophesies
[00:24.82]On the edge of the horizon
[00:29.48]As you drive glittering highways
[00:32.1]And beaten-up by-ways
[00:34.23]That straddle and girdle
[00:36.28]A great and many-faced nation
[00:42.22]There are lambs in the ghettos
[00:44.82]Who worship their Gapettos
[00:46.85]Believing in though never seeing
[00:49.15]The strings they think bind them
[00:54.9]So you write to our congressmen
[00:57.74]With bleeding pens
[00:59.64]Of the sorrow within
[01:02.32]And in return they just send
[01:06.62]Tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show
[01:17.63]Welcome to the new wild west
[01:33.22]Each man for himself
[01:47.23]Civilized steeples
[01:52.37]And lonely people
[01:59.88]Welcome to the new wild west
[01:73.05]There are so many fractions
[01:77.05]And cue-card reactions
[01:80.3]It's hard to keep clear
[01:84.18]The possibilities here
[01:87.03]'Cause there's no force to unite them
[01:98.62]Privilege has ruled for thousands of years
[02:05.72]Wars have been fought with bibles and tears
[02:11.9]Yet liberation can't deny the temptation
[02:16.87]And soon becomes the oppressor
[02:27.1]Show me a leader who's fit to lead
[02:33.77]Who don't sew his seed in anything
[02:37.85]Wounded enough to breed
[02:41.25]Because after all what fun is power
[02:44.6]If you can't act like a rock star
[02:55.62]Welcome to the new wild west
[02:70.98]Each man for himself
[02:85.38]Civilized steeples
[02:89.77]And lonely people
[02:97.72]Welcome to the new
[03:36.27]I've been petty and unkind
[03:43.05]But I know my own mind
[03:46.07]And since it seems clear
[03:49.77]There's no one leading us here
[03:52.87]The only thing left it appears
[03:56.17]Is to task ourselves to be better each time
[03:63.12]Then those before us
[03:67.78]We'll be an army of theives
[03:71.7]Of self-freed slaves
[03:75.08]Of mild-mannered maids
[03:77.75]We'll fight with whispers and blades
[03:81.27]So get ready a new day is dawning
[03:95.72]Welcome to the new wild west
[04:12.68]Each man for himself
[04:26.1]A nation of civilized steeples
[04:30.65]And lonely people
[04:39.]Welcome to the new wild west
