Westward course of empire's got
its wheels turning faster and on to disaster
so long, long, such a long way to go.
Riding up on a high horse looking at
all the soldiers and the holy rollers
so long, long, such a long way to go.
Did it take that long.
Did it take that long.
I could be reasonable, I could fight,
I could have at least been a little bit wiser
so long, long, such a long way go.
You know when those miniature birds
sing an ignorant song the choir's
putting us on trial
so long, long, such a long way to go.
Did it take that long,
Did it take that long?
Riding up on high.
Riding up on high.
Did it take that long?
Did it take that long?
