lyrics

How can our fathers
Lead us down these trodden roads
Passed a thousand times before us
By just as empty souls

How can our fathers
Put generations on our backs
Push us out the front door
And seal themselves in wax

I wanna find myself right in their eyes
Hold my shoulders high

So I’ll see ya later Western Mass
Leave those mills spinning
Burn these letters and pills
Toss that town in the trash
Get on this plane

How can our fathers
Steal our passions in the quick
Put us on the paper
And chain it to our wrists

How can our fathers
Drop us on our mothers’ arms
Cut the umbilical chord
And then move along

I wanna find myself right in their arms
Hold me tight

So I’ll see ya later Western Mass
Leave those mills spinning
Burn these letters and pills
Toss that town in the trash
Get on this plane

So I’ll see ya later Western Mass
Leave those mills spinning
Burn these letters and pills
Toss that town in the trash
Get on this plane

How can my father
