Found a place in the foliage
Avoided the rest, a steady pulse in my chest
I had no grudge to get over
And no past to regret

It was me and the weather
and the weather was good
And all their nay-saying ways
Could never cloud my perspective.
There ain’t no reason it should

They tried to say I was selfish
Told me I was naïve
And made all kinds of predictions
That had no bearing on me
And all around me was hearsay
Until I found a better place in the Evergreens
I bet you’re bent on destruction
The holes in your blouse, the bitter taste in your mouth
And still no sign of redemption
No time to figure it out

But I was there in your trenches
Defending that cold cold place
And when I came to my senses
There was effort to make

And I bet you think it’s fictitious
You’d say I’m over my head
But I got no reason to wait here with you
And all the other mislead
It’s better under the radar
No need to swallow everything you’re fed

They’re gonna keep you incarcerated
But underneath the radar we’ll be free for evermore.
