Ruins of the Realm - James Mcmurtry[00:00:00]

Standin' in the middle of a roman street[00:00:09]

Marble dust all over my feet[00:00:15]

Bearded masses at the gates[00:00:19]

Dancin' in the ruins while it's not too late[00:00:24]

Drivin' a rolls through old bombay[00:00:40]

Rickshaw drivers in my way[00:00:45]

Well they better move over[00:00:49]

And they'd better move fast[00:00:50]

Dancin' in the ruins of a golden past[00:00:55]

Dancin' in the ruins of the raj[00:00:59]

Queen and country's noble cause[00:01:02]

Standin' on banks of the river Seine[00:01:18]

I ain't got tuppence to my name[00:01:23]

Stand my ground and I cast my net[00:01:27]

Dancin' in the ruins where the sun don't set[00:01:33]

Dancin' in the ruins of the crown[00:01:37]

Enfield rifles keepin' us down[00:01:40]

I got a thirty ought six and a premium load[00:02:07]

In a shotgun shack on a two lane road[00:02:12]

Smack in the middle of the bible belt[00:02:16]

Dancin' in the ruins all by myself[00:02:22]

We got the national guard with the bayonets[00:02:26]

We got the ten commandments[00:02:31]

On the state house steps[00:02:33]

We shalt not steal and we shalt not kill[00:02:35]

Dancin' in the ruins of our own free will[00:02:41]

Dancin' in the ruins of the south[00:02:45]

Confederate flag taped over my mouth[00:02:48]

We thank thee lord for all we got[00:03:04]

While the military nationals call the shots[00:03:09]

So scrape them hides and clean that slate[00:03:13]

Dancin' in the ruins of the nation state[00:03:19]

We'll fight them in the land[00:03:23]

We'll fight them in the air[00:03:24]

Well a cowboy says[00:03:28]

We got to fight them over there[00:03:29]

He ain't seen nothing like it since saigon fell[00:03:32]

Dancin' in the ruins 'cause we might as well[00:03:38]

Dancin' in the ruins of the realm[00:03:42]

A fool and a mad man at the helm[00:03:44]

Dancin' in the ruins of the reich[00:03:49]

Down in the bunker on a hunger strike[00:03:52]
