We open fire on our foe
all that happens is full of woe...

The wool is over your eyes
you'll not see the next surprise...

Here i am our nation's flag keeper
i won't drop it my resolve is deeper...

I'm here for a short time to make my mark
my life here will be symbolized as a spark...

The confederate fores massed at Gettysburg's...
two days the rebus were pushed back, the forests...

I have a comparison I wish to make
so please listen for your own sake...

After a long day his desk is now clean
bills, and proposals are all he's seen...

A high bridge, dusk settles onto the city's crowns
two lovers, both of them standing wearing frowns...

Boys with pants sagging to their knees
kids in school grades below the d's...

I do not look for the fight, the fight finds me
i try to avoid it, but it must forever be...

Written, the marvelous works of posterity
so great that i feel a sense of inferiority...

Today is a happy day
today is an odious day...
