Red Rock Country
Why do so many Americans live in cowboyland?
Why are they uncomfortable without dark Bibles
and double-barrel pistols in their hands?
Why are so many Americans working at minimum wage?
How can a two-class society be democratic
if most people live in poverty til the grave?
Riding the red rocks ah America's barren lands
it seems like uhh showdown
aint so far out ah han'.
Terri: This notion of a western 'shown down' does not work well in a nuclear age. Kris: Indeed. We're all stakeholders in Earth's future. Terri: If male hormones run their natural course, I wonder what kind of future humanity has. Sam: Armageddon is an end-game scenario that should never be allowed to happen. We must unite and come to recognize how deeply connected we are.
