I feel a chill in the air today And though we never started out that way We've got to ask ourselves Is this the land that our fathers made? That silver spoon is going to fade and rust Got no respect and we've lost our trust And Texas, what's become of your favorite sons?
[Chorus] Why are your friends all acting strange? This ain't no time for a foolish heart It's time we've got to act our age You'll never break me down
Better believe we've got our eyes on you And we know the crooked things you do You'd better wake up now And answer for the things you've done
All of the lies that you propagate You've raped the charm from the lone star state And there's a cancer deep Inside a Texas heart tonight
