Nervous Young Men
The Battle of Bushy Run (Staying Up Late)
[Verse]
"Come in peace leave in pieces"
The sign on the gateway says
There's a queen in a president's clothing
As she's shouting "Off with their heads!"
I don't listen to the old songs
Everybody's right if everybody's wrong
The boys like boys
And the girls like girls
What is happening in this world?
[Chorus]
Everyone dies
The sand is swept into the tide
Everyone dies but
The tide is chained
Aaaaaah
[Verse]
Just the other night
I went to an open mic
I laid on the ground
And watched some people fucking around
I decided to play
My friends weren't there because they are gay
And it got mentioned in the paper
Every name but mine was in there
[Chorus]
Nothing to say
Can't really tell if I'm having fun
The kids are all staying up late
Aaaaaah
[Verse]
Way back in '63
Fort Pitt was under siege
Henry came walking in
To kill all the indians
They held the ground 'til sunset
And finally the indians fled
Sixty people died that day
And noone can remember any of their names
[Chorus]
Colonel Bouquet
At the Battle of Bushy Run
Colonel Bouquet and Pontiac
