about

The first single from our soon to be released album '30lbs of Air' on Metal Postcard Records

lyrics

Woodrow Speed put a bullet in his head
flushing them out of the eagle’s nest
Kept on shooting then he laughed and said
“We’re going all the way like the wild, wild west”

Took a jeep to the edge of town
They were dug in by the road, they took him down
He was crying for his mother as I watched him bleed
Just a piece fallen off the big machine
That rolls it rolls and rolls down Liberation Road
It rolls and rolls down Liberation…

Eddie wasn’t one for putting on a show
A regular guy, an ordinary joe with a rifle and a 36 grenade
lost count of the kills he’d made
But man, you shoulda seen him run
screaming like a banshee in the noon day sun
For a gentle man he could be so mean
Just another cog in the big machine
That rolls, it rolls and rolls down Liberation Road
It rolls and rolls down Liberation Road

All along the line they were singing
“Na na na na na”

Sitting by the fire with both bars on
Wondering where the years have gone
No hero - you’ve got to understand
the medals on my chest hide a haunted man
But hey it’s a new world now, it don’t care why and it don’t care how
Don’t want to hear about what I’ve seen
Too busy looking at the shiny screen
That rolls and rolls it rolls down Liberation Road
It rolls and it rolls down Liberation…

“Na na na na na”
