Recorded in Baltimore MD at Magpie Cage by Brooks Harlan.
lyrics
Growing up at the beach, lost at sea
Growing up in a box, far from free
I told my parents I'd be a professional baseball player
But can I tell them the dream was dead
before the Cold War or Desert Storm
The era of Reagan and Bush
Clinton and Bush
passed down from Vietnam
Even before that, as the Red Sun's white flag
was a-flying
We dropped two mammoth bombs
to put the fear of god into anyone or any nation
who went against the notion that the
western empire is the chosen son
Oh god damn, I'm still waiting for that bomb to
drop on me.
