Howl for my homeland
Wherever that was
And howl for the homage
That's been gone and lost
To the passing and temporal
The eons gone by
There's nothing to praise
Not in earth, sea or sky
All was holy has been shot
And in flying too low
The rest will soon follow
Oh, the rest will soon go
Stay in the light, Joe
Stay with yourself
Put up a fight
Don't rest on the shelf
Growl at the pedestal
Growl at the pinch
The last of the ports
Has broken the winch
Oh the legacy is gone
And the people who knew
Have lost their minds
Oh left, there's a few
Who are choking on what
And the will to hold on
With their principles pinned
To the courts up above
Stay in the light, Joe
Stay with yourself
Put up a fight
Don't rest on the shelf
Me and the teardrop
Me and the mountain
Oh me and the cheque
And to meet my accountant
Oh me and the wolf
Who has eaten my heart
And me and my friends
Who laugh in the dark
Oh and you and yours two
And you are yours three
And you and yours ever
And ever be free
Stay in the light, Joe
Stay with yourself
Put up a fight
Don't rest on the shelf
