Those Poor Bastards - No Light

The machines, they took over So I packed my saddle And headed out west to the prairie I came to a river And held my head under Baptized myself in its glory In the cities they're all hypnotized There's no light in anyone's eyes I ride an old paint Got a sack on my shoulder Gonna find out where I came from I want to live simple But not simple minded Chained to the judgement of no one In the cities they're all hypnotized There's no light in anyone's eyes I sleep when I'm hungry I eat when I'm tired At sunset I rest by the campfire The whippoorwhill moanin' The milkweed a-bloomin' Never do cease for to inspire In the cities they're all hypnotized There's no light in anyone's eyes And when night has fallen The wolves come a-huntin' An eerie moon glows on my shoulder I talk to the trees I sing with the birds Content in the wonder of nature In the cities they're all hypnotized There's no light in anyone's eyes No beast half as bad As the parasite Man He's poisoned the air and the water But now his own greed Got him down on his knees I welcome you all to the slaughter In the cities they're all hypnotized There's no light in anyone's eyes No one to cry When man do die No one to cry When man do die
