Grant Lee Buffalo - Even The Oxen lyrics

Here is the one here is the one here is the one mistake that can not be made There is a line that is crossed over once and only once let it be said All of the hubris clenched in our fist won't punch our way out of here You know what i've told and i tell but you won't let it pa** into your ears Even the oxen ramming their heads on wood rails Come to know pain before the rusted barrier falls Before the radio long before radio waves struck down to touch Off the wild flame that took all in its path and trampled the young underbrush Music shooed clouds away billowing anxieties are rolled over and out Seems like a lot of folks gave up and got out except for the truly devout Who like the oxen ramming their heads on wood rails Came to be dizzy before the barrier fell Love is the one love is the one weapon that hasn't been brandished yet in this song Strikes fear in the pockets of bankers and generals without it we can't carry on And all of us knew this at one time from teething to toothless it's safe to say But useless perhaps to point out that we've lost our instincts and awe in this day And like the oxen ramming their heads on tin walls Might come to know mercy before the barrier falls And i come to know mercy before the barrier falls And i come to know mercy before the barrier falls Falls falls And it falls falls falls And it falls falls falls
