Nervous Young Men - The Battle of Bushy Run (Staying Up Late) lyrics

"Come in peace leave in pieces"
The sign on the gateway says

There's a queen in a president's clothing
As she's shouting "Off with their heads!"

I don't listen to the old songs
Everybody's right if everybody's wrong

The boys like boys and the girls like girls

What is happening in this world?

Everyone dies
The sand is swept into the tide
Everyone dies but the tide is chained

Aaaah

Just the other night i went to an open mic
I laid on the ground
And watched some people fucking around
I decided to play
My friends weren't there because they are gay
And it got mentioned in the paper
Every name but mine was in there

Nothing to say
Can't really tell if I'm having fun
The kids are all staying up late

Aaaah

Way back in '63 fort Pitt was under siege
Henry came walking in
To kill all the indians
They held the ground 'til sunset
And finally the indians fled
Sixty people died that day
And noone can remember any of their names

Colonel Bouquet at the Battle of Bushy Run
Colonel Bouquet and Pontiac
