lyrics

Bogdan:
dirt in your fingernails
holes in your clothes
the smell of fresh alcohol
the fathers we know

no bridge for the distance
this children will learn
we judge and we wonder
until it’s our turn

so pour us here one more round
we've not yet fallen down
i can still lay down
without holding onto the ground
heres to knowing our place
and boots on our face
try to ground us on down
so right now one more round

all the days lurching forward while the liquor pours forth
and why not, what've you got to stop it for
all the good times will fade to a future that's laced
with a tedium that drives any man here insane

brave our fathers fought then but returned broken men
my old man slogged and scraped his wild fire tamed
he drank a strong brew he made of sad bitter rage
to his grave and i know that that's me soon one day

all our days set in place from our cribs to our graves
sure you kick for a minute before you settlein your cage
you're flat broke and you're heeled. you just work your field
get too loud they'll come round and your little girl steal

our masters one and all hold us all by the balls
and like beaten dogs they think we'll just lay and take it all
be their battered whore come crawl and grovel one and all
but out there in the hills are rebels, blood to spill

so one more round, i'm not yet broken down
the vizier's death or my last breath is all i care for now
one day soon he'll say my girl's name in pain
on my soul this i vow so right now one more round

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
