Spencer Radcliffe - Yankee lyrics

Does it make the most sense To eat like a bird? I could live by the seed I live by the word Come around the bend It can be quite a curve I am ready for the sickness In my stomach from the swerve I am ready for the disappointed sigh I am ready for the grandest chariot to arrive While the world has other things in mind She says "you shall not seek what you are trying to find," That's fine, I pa** the time I could build a nest for me to rest my head I could live modestly and still keep well-fed Driving down the interstate and feeling a smile Breaking down these big walls every mile, every mile While the world is taking her turn Tasting the smoldering paper as it burns And it's cheap but it feels alright We will make it through the morning We will see another night And that's fine, I pa** the time
