Those Poor Bastards – No Light lyrics

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 whippoorwill moanin'
The milkweed a bloomin'
They 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
Wah wah wah
