Dm You see the ghosts of the buffalo Moving both fierce and slow D Like glittering prophesies On the edge of the horizon Dm As you drive glittering highways And beaten-up by-ways D That straddle and girdle A great and many-faced nation Dm You see lambs in the ghettos Who worship their Gepettos D Believing in, though never seeing The strings they think bind them Dm So you write to our congressmen With bleeding pens Dm Of the sorrow within And in return they just send D Tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show [Chorus] F G Dm Welcome to the new wild west F G D Each man for himself F G Civilized steeples C G And lonely people F G Dm Welcome to the new wild west [Verse 2] Dm There are so many factions And cue-card reactions Dm It's hard to keep clear The possibilities here D 'Cause there's no force to unite them Dm Privilege has ruled for thousands of years Wars have been fought with bibles and tears Dm Yet liberation can't deny the temptation D And soon becomes the oppressor Dm Show me a leader who's fit to lead Who don't sow his seed in anything Wounded enough to breed Because after all what fun is power D If you can't act like a rock star?
