13 Arrows

Well our back’s to the wall and we don’t understand it
Cause the past that we knew
We’ve been taking for granted
Lofty-eyed Jefferson plucked for his quill
Down from the dove on a Nazareth sill
Now our loving god is wrathful for our rubbers and our pills
Now fear is our midwife and boogeyman suzerain
And now, now, now, now
This is boring us
Cause there’s just no one to trust
In a world analogous to a ship
We’re albatrosses here
It’s boring us
Well it’s all over now
It’s back to the water
Cause the Earth is a bomb
Just as long as we’re on her, now
