[Verse 1]
Soulless and godless
We burn the candle at both ends
As progress is being phased out
Our resistance is futile
And so, we bypass the future
While we focus on the here and now
We long for the time
When justice wasn’t so blind
How we took for granted everything
Well, the time is now, if there ever was a time
It’s all-or-nothing, sink or swim
[Chorus]
Because the power within you
Is nothing without you
Gotta keep movin’ on, keep movin’ on
I hear the grass is always greener
On the west side of Texas
And the West was won under the gun
[Verse 2]
Lines in the sand
Are drawn with bloody hands
The message sent is loud and clear
That the strength lies in numbers
And the numbers are rising
Lord, take us to the Promised Land!
With no end in sight
We’ll fight with all our might
To get back on our feet again
It only takes a minute to realize
The urgency of what is at hand
[Chorus]
Because the power within you
Is nothing without you
Gotta keep movin’ on, keep movin’ on
I hear the grass is always greener
On the west side of Texas
And the West was won under the gun
[Bridge]
High noon can’t come too soon
So, shoot straight
And take ten steps to the East
Boy, I can’t wait
To end this big charade
We played for life
And now I bid farewell for good
And bless the cause for which we stood
[Post-Bridge]
Come on!
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, the power within you
Is nothing without you
Gotta keep movin’ on, keep movin’ on
I hear the grass is always greener
On the west side of Texas
And the West was won under the gun
[Outro]
Oh, under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
