Big KS

(in Big Kansas)
Half of a century before Appeal to Reason
When a railway line, parallel or platte river
Etched statehood
In a mining man's industrial heart

"how will we get to the gold?
From the western fringe to the gold?"
Will it inevitably flow to us?
(in big Kansas)
(in big Kansas)

Our drawing of meaningless lines
Dissecting, displacing
From Pekitanoui to as-sin-wati
Violently branding statehood on
Every last indigenous heart

"but how would we get to the gold?
From the western fringe to the gold?"
"it will inevitably flow to -"
(big Kansas)

They called him crazy
Back when mountains meant gold
Wanted to stretch the horizon
From it's alluvial fold
Had a dream
A big canvas
In Big Kansas
They called him crazy
Back when mountains meant gold
Wanted to stretch the horizon
From it's alluvial fold
Had a dream
A big canvas
In Big Kansas
They called him crazy
Back when mountains meant gold
Wanted to stretch the horizon
From it's alluvial fold
Had a dream
A big canvas
In Big Kansas

Lines lines lines
And linear time
Lines lines lines
Lines lines lines
Lines lines lines
Linear time
Lines lines lines lines lines

Aaahhhh
I cannot believe
U helped me with my
(oooh, my) homework
I cannot believe
U helped me with my
(oooh, my) homework
I cannot believe
