Bound and Determined
I am so weary
I’m as glum as I can be
All y’all have lost it
I meet your madness with pity
Don’t blame you for being scared
But its the wrong direction that your teeth are bared

We’re fully busted
We know the ship has run aground
The things you trusted
They burned the farm and moved to town
And though I might eat all of my steaks rare
I never sold my soul to a billionaire

I keep the door
Open for you
Bound and determined, oh
You can’t lie to me
Bound and determined, oh
To ruin everything
You think you’re country
You lay a claim unto the soil
If you were country
You’d save your land from being spoiled
Do you drink water?
Do you breathe air?
I think if you were really country you would fucking care

I’d be just like you
If I were fed the things you’re fed
I’m just as frightened
We’re off the rails
We’re in the red
You’ve got opinions
But your proof, it lacks
And only one of us is dealing in alternative facts

I keep the door
Open for you
Bound and determined, oh
You can’t lie to me
Bound and determined, oh
To ruin everything

Do you love freedom?
Or security in dreams
Is life worth living if there’s lead in the last stream?
To a glutton what’s allegiance worth
If the meek like me are to inherit the earth?
It's not oppression
To ask for basic decency
You’ll learn your lesson
While you’re repeating history
And if this song gets me shot
At least my voice, it wasn’t silent
You’ll forget me not

I keep the door
Open for you
Bound and determined, oh
You can’t lie to me
Bound and determined, oh
To ruin everything
To ruin everything
To ruin everything

You'll ruin everything
