Baby Boomer Lyrics - Singles - Monsters Of Folk

We've got to stand a little closer 

To what it is we're leaning on 

Who was it that first said it? 

Could it be he could be wrong 

About the pilgrims and the natives 

Having dinner on the lawn? 

I think if I was ever king 

I would buy a censorship 

Where the only books upon the shelves 

Were the ones that I had read 

Open 'em up at borders 

Send my photo down the spine 

To tell the story of the living 

Without forgetting those who died 

And I would die a happy man 

'Cause I did the best that I could do 

To find a better way of leavin' 

Should we leave that up to you 

Who was it that first said it? 

Yeah, the one who said it best 

You've got to L O V E your neighbors 

At least the ones who are still left 

We've got to stand a little closer 

To the lessons that we've learned 

Is it just a premonition 

Could we really get ourselves [Incomprehensible] 

I've been sent here on a mission 

To find what we agreed upon 

We don't agree about September 

Can we agree on Vietnam? 

I think if I was ever a publisher 

I'd buy a pirate ship 

Where the mission at each position 

Is to shoot and to clear 

Clean the photos up a little 

Censor the ship out of it 

So I would put it up at borders 

Turn a profit on my trip 

Charge the public 

For the overhead of 1492 

And if they need a better reason 

Tell 'em we got living proof 

And I would die a happy man 

'Cause I did the best that I could do 

To find a better way of leavin' 

Should we leave that up to you 

Who was it that first said it 

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say 

You've got to L O V E your neighbors 

At least the ones who live today
