Lyrics
Cowboy Chords
Heard a robot sing the blues
And I remembered rock & roll
All the melodies we stole
Don’t let ‘em tell you a story of the past
That never was
The future don’t lie like the present does
Every word is a war
Every word
Every word is a war
Every word
And the enemy won’t come by land or sea
Or private jet or limousine or microbus
Hooked on speed and slavery
The enemy is us
To the end of mystery
And the birth of the perfect fake
History loves a mistake
Every word is a war
Every word
Every word
Every word
Every word is a war
Between the paper and the pen
Dust off your guitar
Play the cowboy chords again
Play it again
Play it again
Play it again
