I stand here trembling defiant and unable to defend
The core existence of my fellow man, who's running scared
You beat us down with truncheon, though we stand united still
This gas will clear, our tears will dry and forge a stronger will
Like a child in your yard run around now and play pretend
All these games that we play, they are no means to an end
All (of) your innocence is more like money spent
Run away from the thoughts that your mind cannot comprehend
This metal rumble echoes, streets are filled with dusty eyes
The hazy glow of sunlight, soon it sets who lives who dies
Fight for future homeland, fight for rights, preserve the truth
You're under the impression that you're the ant and they're the boot
Like a child in your yard run around now and play pretend
All these games that we play, they are no means to an end
All of your innocence is more like money spent
Run away from the thoughts that your mind cannot comprehend

Boston post-punk outfit Junk Ranchers broke up in 1986 before this, their debut album, was released; darkly melodic, it's a long-lost gem. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
