Lame Duck Arsenal
it's been a long eight years and still no end in
sight to the paranoia and stagnation our worst fears taking flight over
the atlantic in the frozen darkness before dawn and they never saw it coming
so now our protagonist is gone and still we never question why and when
we do there's no reply from the ones who have it all an outdated necessity
to keep our country free too bad we're fresh out of enemies see how we
look down our noses at other nations who try to keep their best for last
while we've got silos full of the good stuff whose usefulness has passed
with a hearty handshake and a gun to the dome we'll get nato to condone
our peacekeeping missions of cold war nostalgia with nuclear back-up will
it ever end? this thermonuclear nightmare disarm now what will it take?
to wrest the power and control from the hands of a jaded few bittercold
warriors and overzealous situation-room patriots might take it into his
own hands to rekindle that old flame
Holding On
i've thought it through & i think you're right
and you're not missing much there's something pure that you can't hold
against a simple touch so many choices and the pressure we all bring to
bear your strength works miracles and touches those who try to care i believe
in you and i hope you see it through your resolve is inspiration in my
life it takes alot now so few who feel the same when it means enough not
to give it away now finding it hard not to think in terms of yesterday
finding it strange that somebody else could feel that way it must be hard
sometimes to stand behind your chastity and i wish that i could be the
one but it's not me i'll never set you free hold on because you've got
alot to believe in.
