The New Wild West

Jewel

Transposer:

-                     1.  You see the ghost of the buffalo moving both fierce and slow                      like glittering prophesies on the edge of the horizon.     As you drive glittering highways and beaten-up byways     that straddle and girdle our great and many-faced nation.     You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos      believing in never seeing the strings they think bind them.     So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within     and in return they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show.                              -                     Welcome to the new Wild West each man for himself.    Civilized steeples and lonely people welcome to the new Wild West. 2. There are so many factions and cue-card reactions     it’s hard to keep clear the possibilities here      ’cause there’s no force to unite them.     Privilege has ruled for thousands of years      wars have been fought with bibles and tears     yet liberation can’t deny the temptation soon becomes the oppressor.     Show me a leader who’s fit to lead     who don’t sow his seed in anything wounded enough to breed     because after all what fun is power if you can’t act like a rock star?                              -                    Welcome to the new Wild West        each man for himself.                                                     ~ ~    Civilized steeples and lonely people welcome to the new - -       La la da da la la la la da da.   (2x) 3. As for me I’ve been petty oh and unkind but I know my own mind     and since it seems clear there’s no one leading us here     the only thing left it appears is        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -       to task ourselves to be better each time than those before us.     We’ll be an army of thieves of self-freed slaves       of mild-mannered maids we’ll fight with whispers and blades     so get ready a new day is dawning                             -                    Welcome to the new Wild West        each man for himself.    A nation of civilized steeples and lonely people       welcome to the new Wild West.

La chanson évoque une vision désenchantée de la société moderne, où chacun se bat pour sa propre survie dans un monde dépourvu de véritable solidarité. Les images de la nature, comme le bison, contrastent avec la réalité des ghettos où les gens sont piégés par des illusions. Elle met en lumière les luttes de pouvoir, les inégalités et la désillusion face à ceux qui gouvernent, souvent déconnectés des souffrances des citoyens. Le contexte reflète une Amérique divisée, où le progrès est entravé par des intérêts personnels et des conflits de pouvoir, soulignant la solitude et l'aliénation des individus dans un cadre prétendument civilisé. La chanson invite à une remise en question collective et à la responsabilité personnelle pour construire un avenir meilleur.
