lyrics

There's an ordered competition, it's an opportune audition
For a genuflected melody by agents of transition
So don't panic, it's foretelling an ambition for sedition
That's if you have the stomach for a cup of cold resistance

You may buy a ticket to see an artist's true rendition
A situation comedy for all the human family
A narrative comparing us while fools will sit and stare at us
But all I could remember in September was to have you

Take me far
Far far away
And sing me to sleep
Of some Golden Age
And I'll say a prayer
For all the brave men and women there

The leading indication that is sweeping across the nation
Is the illusion of polemic making left or right religion
When the sanity of violence is the only way to silence
The prognosticating statisticians giving armchair guidance

You may find a reason to believe this song is treason
A systematic rhyming game designed for the new season
A documented subterfuge, a friend of covert wrecking crews
A palladium of poker games to break me from these chains and

Take me far
Far far away
And sing me to sleep
Of some Golden Age
And I'll say a prayer
For all the brave men and women there

Like John Brown
We need a man like John Brown
Where can we find a man like John Brown
And all the other sons of liberty

There's a lesson for the learning if'n you don't mind the burning
Of a vigilante's candle lighting evidence concerning
Quasi solitary witness to survivors with discerning
Epic paradigms of metaphysical happy hunting grounds where I'll be

Far
Far far away
And sing me to sleep
Of some Golden Age
And I'll say a prayer
For all the brave men and women there

Like John Brown
We need a man like John Brown
Where can we find a man like John Brown
And all the other sons of liberty

John Brown...
