Even the oxen lyrics

Artist  : Grant lee buffalo 
Song : Even the oxen
 
Here is the one here is the one here is the one
mistake that can not be made
There is a line that is crossed over once and
only once let it be said
All of the hubris clenched in our fist won’t
punch our way out of here
You know what I’ve told and I tell but you won’t
let it pass into your ears

Even the oxen ramming their heads on wood rails
Come to know pain before the rusted barrier
falls

Before the radio long before radio waves struck
down to touch
Off the wild flame that took all in it’s path and
trampled the young underbrush
Music shooed clouds away billowing anxieties are
rolled over and out
Seems like a lot of folks gave up and got out
except for the truly devout

Who like the oxen ramming their heads on wood
rails
Came to be dizzy before the barrier fell

Love is the one love is the one weapon that
hasn’t been brandished yet in this song
Strikes fear in the pockets of bankers and
generals without it we can’t carry on
And all of us knew this at one time from teething
to toothless it’s safe to say
But useless perhaps to point out that we’ve lost
our instincts and awe in this day

And like the oxen ramming their heads on tin
walls
Might come to know mercy before the barrier
falls
And I come to know mercy before the barrier
falls
And I come to know mercy before the barrier
falls

Falls falls
And it falls falls falls
And it falls falls falls
