I am loathe to close*We are not enemies, but friends.We must not be enemies.Though passion may have strained,It must not break the bonds of our affection.The mystic chords of memory,Stretching from battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land,Will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched,As surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.(Abraham Lincoln, first inaugural address, March 1861)Tonight, two great ships will pull back to their portsDepleted of everything that shoots flames and reportsAnd in the morning the shells will wash up on the shoreAnd the mighty of Earth will have no other recourseBut to shiver and shake and make shit in their shortsBecause we have been told that if you've been assuredThere's a way to live the values your forefathers gave youPrepare to be told That shit's gay, dudeI guess that what they say is trueThere is no race more human, no one throws it away like they doThe things I used to love, I have come to rejectThe things I used to hate, I have learned to acceptAnd the worst of the three, you now have to expectSatan ain't hard to see without craning your neckHe'll be seventy-some inches tallHe'll be chugging a beer, he'll be grabbing his ballsHe's a remote explosive waiting for someone to callHe's just eighteen for now but he's going to murder us allSolidarity is going to give a lot less than it'll takeIs there a girl at this college who hasn't been raped?Is there a boy in this town that's not exploding with hate?Is there a human alive that can look themselves in the faceWithout winking, or say what they mean without drinkingOr believe in something without thinking, What if somebody doesn't approve?Is there a soul on this Earth that isn't too frightened to move?I think the wrong people got a hold of your brain when it was nothing but a piece of puttySo now try as you may, but you will always be a tourist, little buddyAnd half the time I open my mouth to speakIt's to repeat something that I heard on TVI've destroyed everything that wouldn't make me more like Bruce SpringsteenSo I'm going back to New Jersey, I do believe they've had enough of meSo when I leave Boston, my tail is between my legsAfter deep cups of patience have been drunk to the dregsAnd now I'm headed west on 84 againAnd I'm as much of an asshole as I've ever beenAnd there is still nothing about myself I respectStill haven't done anything I did not later regretI've a hand and a napkin when looking for sexAnd that's no one to talk to when feeling depressedAnd so now when I drink, I'm going to drink to excessAnd when I smoke, I will smoke gaping holes in my chestAnd when I scream, I will scream until I'm gasping for breathAnd when I get sick, I will stay sick for the restOf my days peddling hate out the back of a Chevy ExpressEach one a fart in the face of your idea of successAnd if this be thy will, then fucking pass me the cupAnd I'm sorry, Dad, no, I'm not making this upBut my enemy, it's your name on my lips as I go to sleepAnd I know what little I've known of peaceYes, I've done to you what you've done to meAnd I'd be nothing without you, my darling, please don't ever leave
Lyrics by Titus Andronicus
