Son of the Road - Flower of Dixieland ***LYRICS BELOW***
(from the 'Voices at the End of the World' EP)

you know you wasted it
so shut away like a prince of Egypt
hey, that's what most people say

they're calling for class war
line them up and chain them to the door
oh, that's where the foreman goes

well, the people are speaking like a broken record
when you hold the cards
yeah, they think they'll never ever get the last word
but they'll get their reward
because all good people get their reward

you know you squandered it
and all the flowers of dixieland are witnessing
hey, that's where your children play
your lawyers at war
all in all, it's another brick in the wall
so hard
that security detail around your heart

well, the preacher's speaking like a broken record
when you hold the cards
yeah, the corporate sponsor stands before the altar
fire as his reward
all pharaohs get their reward

everyone is speaking like a broken record

carpetbagger speaking like a broken record
his stocking lined with coal
they're lining dynamite across the mountain
to fill the hole
it's swallowing all of you whole

CHORDS (tuned one full step down):
Fmaj7 / C / G     (more or less, throughout the whole song)
