lyrics

I'm a veteran of the latest world war
we haven't accomplished what it was we set out for
The culture is leaving us behind
the discourse is thickening into a dense fog

But the postcards that I sent back home to the family
got forwarded at least twenty times
and our folk art is never far away
the impact scripture will insulate our minds

I'm a settler in contested territory
trying not to develop a taste for the cuisine
I keep my armaments behind me teeth
got to know the latest scores for my team

But the postcards that I sent back home to the family
got forwarded at least twenty times
and our folklore is never far away
the impact scripture will barricade our minds

I'm an orphan of the anthropocene
an endangered species or so I believe
Borders run across city blocks
I avert my gaze to stay in my domain

But the postcards that I sent back home to the family
got forwarded at least twenty times
and our folklore is never far away
the impact scripture will terraform our lives
