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
