No Far Away

There's no far away, there is no more far away
So these dreams of the Wild West will lead us astray
There is no more far away

When the war had gone on too long
And the crowd said the troops should come home, home
This blue planet turning alone
The troops had never been gone

There's no far away, there is no more far away
So these dreams of the Wild West will lead us astray
There is no more far away

When the missiles are waiting to fly
And rip through the innocent sky
If we swing out our six guns like the sheriff on high
I's not just the bad guys who die

And these changes can not be denied
We live close to the world's other side
That can save us or kill us, it's time to decide
But the past is no safe place to hide

There's no far away, there is no more far away
So these dreams of the Wild West will lead us astray
There is no more far away

For resentment doesn't die with the dead
Despite what the general said
This oil slick of blood, across the ocean will spread
And just poison our own well instead

There's no far away, there is no more far away
So these dreams of the Wild West will lead us astray
There is no more far away
There is no more far away
