lyrics

I've been sleeping in sheds,
or abandoned churches.
Made it to the Rez,
this land disperses
gasoline, slot machines,
empty dreams, tobacco stains,
broken treaties, broken picture frames,
tepee kitsch, novelties,
empty WNYers wanting

Gasoline and cigarettes

I've been trying to decide what makes a country.
Is it freedom? Liberty?
Identity? A common cause?
Common values? Ideals?
A self-evident truth, here or there?

Or is it fucking land?

And you can tell me now,
you can tell me I have no goddamn idea
that I have no goddamn idea what it means to lose my country.
