the mountain goats - family happiness lyrics

[verse 1]
as we cruised across the canadian border
you reached into your handbag and puled out a micro-c-ssette recorder
started quoting tolstoy into the machine, i had no idea what you meant
guess i’m supposed to figure these things out, or maybe it’s supposed to be self-evident
but i’ve gone feral, and i don’t speak the language anymore
we’re heading deep into the forest, i’ve got the pedal to the floor
the engine shudders like a dying man
when you reach out to grab my hand

[chorus]
you can bring out all your weapons
you can’t make me go to war

[verse 2]
long winding canadian highways; innumerable evergreens
weather forecast on the am radio says we’ll be expecting highs in the low ‘teens
while i mouth my silent curses at you, i can see my breath
i hope the stars don’t even come out tonight, i hope we both freeze to death
look at the person i’ve turned into, tell me, how do you like him now?
no standards of any kind to break, no creeds to disavow
i am right here where you want me
do what you brought me out here for

[chorus]
you can arm me to the t–th
you can’t make me go to war!
