They signed the papers today Both sides of the room, red-faced One walked away I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it this way I've seen aircraft crowd my sky And the markets boom and die Blue air for sending bullets through But I didn't know I'd choose for you I didn't know I'd choose for you The grain that fed the hungry mouth Grew in lines of only north and south This, the grist that I'd share with you But I didn't know I'd choose for you I'm tired of talking about crime All this acid and lye Oh, but I'm from the country And I don't know any better Thought I had my little dogies in a line Thought I had my little dogies in a line Now the story told Of Caiaphas And Maribel in the bush Are now colliding I've simplified On a single dime And gone without But never into hiding I've heard legend of you I have heard of what you do I heard somewhere there's a place for you But I didn't know I'd choose for you I didn't know I'd choose for you
