about

I guess the idea is that some people die little by little rather then all at once.

lyrics

In 1833
I was trying to get free
I tried to cross the river
And wound up swinging from the trees

In 1964
I got caught up in a war
I killed every enemy in sight
‘Til they evened up the score

Dying by degrees
Dying by degrees
Bless my soul I’m a human bomb
And I’m dying to believe

In 1355
A vision reached my eyes
I tried to light a fire
But I got burned alive

In 1638
The cavalry came late
We took our hemlock with our tea
While they were banging on the gates.

I grew up poor
I grew up in a war
And there doesn’t seem to be no relief
The only escape
From the death and rape
Is the ivory tower of my belief

You can build walls all around town
But walls fall to the ground
Some walls crumble from within
While others are broken down.

My heart can’t ever rest
My soul must do its best
So my body’s out here walking ‘round
With a bomb strapped to its chest
