High Pressure Low

Against Me! - High Pressure Low

There was a high pressure low

Developing off the coast of Africa

Uplift in the atmosphere

Push waves across the ocean

Towards Antilles and Bon Air

While I paced in agitation

I drew the curtains closed

I set the air conditioner low

I pressed a warm wash cloth to my face

Somewhere out there a hurricane is coming

There's just no future left for us to dream of

There's just no future left for us to dream of

There's just no future left for us to dream of

Living in an era of instability

Living in an era of instability

Living in an era of instability

So caught up in the culture of their rivals

So caught up in the culture of their rivals

So caught up in the culture of their rivals

Fear breeds in honest men

Fear breeds in honest men

It's a high pressure low

It's a high pressure low

It's a high pressure low

It's a high pressure low

It's a high pressure low

It's a high pressure low

It's a high pressure low

It's a high pressure low

Seven missiles flying over the sea of Japan

Tales of feral children

Sleeping in wolf dens

And the pious preacher commands

I hold my breath in anticipation

Into the shelter of the jungle noble savages run

Vestal virgins triumph over lifelong inhibitions

And I wonder what is real

What is fiction

Would anyone forgive Robert McNamara

In retrospect he had to admit

There was mistake in going to war

Without first asking all the questions

Yes, Robert Strange McNamara

There are those who just cannot forget

And I wonder have I lost my own compassion

They're breaching honest men
