Somewhere between Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot and Josh Homme.
lyrics
send it off with a wave of your hand
let it go with a bend of the knee
sit and grin with your head in the sand
and your cup held out for the beggar to see
fannie mae got her hand in the jar
freddie mac leaves a tip on the bar
so what if the ante runs dry
when they creep on you from wherever you are
and the cloud rolls on
and the thunder comes in
it's all as it is and it's ever been
what we say when the levee caves in
what we say when we're up to our knees
what we do when the hammer comes down
is a window out to the god we appease
send it off with a wave of your hand
let it go with a bend of the knee
sit and grin with your head in the sand
and your cup held out for the beggar to see
and the cloud rolls on
and the thunder comes in
it's all as it is and it's ever been
and the lightning flash
and the shadow rolls in
it's all as it is and it's ever been
and the crowd says "cut"
and the fader comes in
we're all as we are and we've ever been
is as it's ever been
