Found a place in the foliage Avoided the rest, a steady pulse in my chest I had no grudge to get over And no past to regret It was me and the weather And the weather was good And all their nay-saying ways Could never cloud my perspective. There ain't no reason it should They tried to say I was selfish Told me I was naïve And made all kinds of predictions That had no bearing on me And all around me was hearsay Until I found a better place in the Evergreens I bet you're bent on destruction The holes in your blouse, the bitter taste in your mouth And still no sign of redemption No time to figure it out But I was there in your trenches Defending that cold cold place And when I came to my senses There was effort to make And I bet you think it's fictitious You'd say I'm over my head But I got no reason to wait here with you And all the other mislead It's better under the radar No need to swallow everything you're fed They're gonna keep you incarcerated But underneath the radar we'll be free for evermore.
