Cannonballs

Let me shout its common cause for things to fall apart
 For radicals to ruin all that's right
 I don't mean to flout the laws of government or heart
 I just don't wanna lose your eye
 Wait for the ocean-bottled news
 Fly-bys and radio balloons
 We will sing of lesser traits
 and play them for the magistrate
 In groups of four or eight or twelve
 Until they say "we might as well"
 Grocery stores and cannonballs
 Line up on my list of things I'll remember when I'm old
 Water towers and Mid-west plains still in the abyss
 Left unseen 'til we're further up the road
 Wait for the static stat airwaves
 Land-locked ocean-side parades
 We will bring our new debates
 And sing them for the magistrate
 In groups of four or eight or twelve
 Until they say "we might as well"
 Hey, hey, hey, we might as well
 These days are not fast
 Times will not last
 So they say, but I'm having trouble believin'
 Try to settle soft in the canopy we've lost
 As you dance and sway and kiss with Costa Ricans
 These days are not fast
 Times will not last
 So they say, but I'm having trouble believin'
 Try to settle soft in the canopy we've lost
 You are getting all you can from my hurting, from my hurting
