"Diplomacy" lyrics
"Diplomacy"
We're gettin' edgy, we better find a war
There must be somethin' worth fightin' for
Peace is so peaceful, it ain't a way to survive
When nobody hates you, nobody knows you're alive
We got the guns, we got the oilmen too
They're like a choir, they wanna sing for you
Wham! Bam! Slip slidin' away
The less you got, the more you're gonna pay
You want it, you'll get it
We got what you need
You ain't got to sweat it
We're gonna make you bleed
We got some freedom, we got the iPod store
We got the savior, you couldn't ask for more
Take it or leave it, that's the deal of the day
But if you leave it, you get it anyway
You want it, you'll get it
We got what you need
You ain't got to sweat it
We're gonna make you bleed
Get your coat on, you ain't supposed to laugh
This ain't a joke, it's an epitaph
It's the rise and the fall, that's the name of the game
We got the land of the free, blind and leadin' the lame
We got the land of the free, blind and leadin' the lame
We got the land of the free, blind and leadin' the lame

The Be Good Tanyas - "Oh Susanna" Well, I come from Alabama with
My banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to Louisiana my
True love for to see
It rained all night the day I left
The weather was bone dry
And the sun so hot I froze to death...
Mary Gauthier - "Slip Of The Tongue" Honey sit down
I've got something to say
Last night I drowned
I got carried away
Swept up in the feelings
The words poured out of me
This morning I'm scared
I don't know how to be
My heart moves...
Nanci Griffith - "Boots Of Spanish Leather" Oh, I'm sailing away, my own true love
I'm sailing away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea?
From the place where I'll be landing?
There's nothing you can send me,...
Rosanne Cash - "A Feather's Not A Bird" I'm going down to Florence, gonna wear a pretty dress
I'll sit atop the magic wall with the voices in my head
Then we'll drive on through to Memphis, past the strongest shoals
Then on to Arkansas...
