After The Rush Hour
I am the small town linesman And you'll find me out here on the line Searching ceaselessly to simply Find a place I can call mine
Every corner of this country Criss-crossed out with colored lines The city lies before me Another city sprawling out behind
Since the scramble ended Since the west was won with wagon trails It seems the Mazzini's paradisaical Panopticon prevailed
My walk abouts no longer take me Beyond a choice of different goals Why should I have to choose a state When every one of them has failed?
I am a frontiersman Trapped in suburban England And I promise not to overthrow the state If allowed to redraw the atlas before I emigrate
So I have sailed the seven seas alone Trying to find a shore I can call home But all I found are different flags Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Double speaking diplomats and I do not have time for that
So I'll declare my own sovereign state The borders based on the Bottoms of my boots
And I will open embassies Wherever the hell I please And at assemblies You will see me sat But never on my knees
And I'd gladly leave your Metternich's alone as long as where I lay my head, I can be my very own
I am the Winchester lineman I am a frontiersman Trapped in suburban England But here I will not remain
I'll ride into the sunset My horse waits on the plain And I keep walking the line
