Heretics & Privateers

歌詞

Work and worry's all she's known Lived by the golden rule since the day she was born Through all these troubled years She raised her family, there was no time for tears She's done her best, the kids are grown She prayed each day for a life of her own Last night she disappeared She's joined another tribe, the heretics and privateers He's walked this treadmill since '64 Now he shows a little gray and they show him the door God bless the company For two weeks severance pay and all that sympathy All he believed and all he learned What made him proud and what he thought he had earned Have now become his fears He'll join the other side, the heretics and privateers He's twenty one, she's just nineteen Ah, but they've learned a lot from what they've seen They know that blind obedience to the rules Can leave you shattered, licking your wounds He holds her close, looks at her face, he says "Chasing the carrot is a never ending race Success at any price, demands it's sacrifice And some part of us will die" She say's "One size does not fit all And stepping on others won't make us stand tall Let's find the last frontier And live another way, like heretics and privateers Let's make our own frontier And raise our children there, like heretics and privateers."
