Big Country

from Smile, It's Not That Bad. by Leftmore

lyrics

Soft water or hard rock like metal,
caballero kids dressed like the Pistols.
Right-hand filled skies stretched like an anthem,
a generation late looks to lose the system.

Hot water or cold beer like Dave sang
burn my hands and throat just like bee stings.
Gas station meccas like oases,
a set of head-lit highway eyes blinking indefinitely.

Well, the states of the Union are the State of The Union
and the states of the Union are strong.
And all these kids in their states,
they're all singing the same song;
so, be strong, find your voice, and sing along.

Bad water or good dreams like lighting
fit my no-noose neck just like a canteen
dripping dry from loose lips like parties,
making little splashes all across the big country.

Clean water or dirty kids like road trips
spread out like maps crushed by fight-fists
then crash in like white waves on West Coasts,
meeting in the middle just like post-war politicos.

Well, the states of the Union are the State of The Union
and the states of the Union are strong.
And all these kids in their states,
they're all singing the same song;
so, be strong, find your voice, and sing along.

about

Leftmore Denver, Colorado

Leftmore is an indie acoustic rock act from Colorado, started in 2005 by Matthew Shaw and Joe Ziegler. Joe went solo from late in 2009 to early in 2014, one part story-teller, one part emotive melody, and at least one part human. Matt rejoined with Chris Doxtator on drums and Geoff Brent on bass guitar. The lineup now vacillates between the solo, duo, and quartet conditionally based on time-space. ... more
