New Wild West (Album Version) - Jewel[00:00:00]

You see the ghosts of the buffalo[00:00:17]

Moving both fierce and slow[00:00:19]

Like glittering prophesies[00:00:21]

On the edge of the horizon[00:00:24]

As you drive glittering highways[00:00:29]

And beaten-up by-ways[00:00:32]

That straddle and girdle[00:00:34]

A great and many-faced nation[00:00:36]

There are lambs in the ghettos[00:00:42]

Who worship their Gapettos[00:00:44]

Believing in though never seeing[00:00:46]

The strings they think bind them[00:00:49]

So you write to our congressmen[00:00:54]

With bleeding pens[00:00:57]

Of the sorrow within[00:00:59]

And in return they just send[00:01:01]

Tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show[00:01:03]

Welcome to the new wild west[00:01:10]

Each man for himself[00:01:19]

Civilized steeples[00:01:28]

And lonely people[00:01:31]

Welcome to the new wild west[00:01:35]

There are so many fractions[00:01:43]

And cue-card reactions[00:01:46]

It's hard to keep clear[00:01:48]

The possibilities here[00:01:50]

'Cause there's no force to unite them[00:01:52]

Privilege has ruled for thousands of years[00:01:59]

Wars have been fought with bibles and tears[00:02:03]

Yet liberation can't deny the temptation[00:02:07]

And soon becomes the oppressor[00:02:10]

Show me a leader who's fit to lead[00:02:16]

Who don't sew his seed in anything[00:02:20]

Wounded enough to breed[00:02:22]

Because after all what fun is power[00:02:24]

If you can't act like a rock star [00:02:26]

Welcome to the new wild west[00:02:33]

Each man for himself[00:02:42]

Civilized steeples[00:02:51]

And lonely people[00:02:53]

Welcome to the new[00:02:58]

I've been petty and unkind[00:03:21]

But I know my own mind[00:03:25]

And since it seems clear[00:03:27]

There's no one leading us here[00:03:29]

The only thing left it appears[00:03:31]

Is to task ourselves to be better each time[00:03:33]

Then those before us[00:03:37]

We'll be an army of theives[00:03:40]

Of self-freed slaves[00:03:43]

Of mild-mannered maids[00:03:45]

We'll fight with whispers and blades[00:03:46]

So get ready a new day is dawning[00:03:48]

Welcome to the new wild west[00:03:57]

Each man for himself[00:04:07]

A nation of civilized steeples[00:04:15]

And lonely people[00:04:18]

Welcome to the new wild west[00:04:23]
