AGAINST ME! - High Pressure Low lyrics

<b>High Pressure Low</b> by <i>Against Me!</i><br />here was a high pressure low developing off the coast of Africa, <br />

Uplift in the atmosphere pushed waves<br />

Across the ocean towards Antilles and Bon Air.<br />

I paced in Agitation. I drew the curtains closed.<br />

I turned the air conditioner on.<br />

I pressed a warm wash cloth to my face.<br />

Somewhere out there a hurricane was coming.<br />

<br />

There's just no future left for us to dream of, <br />

Living in an era of instability.<br />

So caught up in the culture of their rivals, <br />

Fear breeds in honest men.<br />

It's a high pressure low.<br />

<br />

7 missiles flying over the sea of japan.<br />

Tales of feral children sleeping in wolf dens.<br />

And the pious preacher commands.<br />

I hold my breath in anticipation.<br />

Into the shelter of the jungle noble savages run.<br />

Vestal virgins triumph over life long inhibitions.<br />

And I wonder, what is real? What is fiction?<br />

<br />

There's just no future left for us to dream of, <br />

Living in an era of instability.<br />

So caught up in the culture of their rivals, <br />

Fear breeds in honest men.<br />

It's a high pressure low.<br />

<br />

Would anyone forgive Robert McNamara?<br />

In retrospect he had to admit; <br />

There was mistake in going to war without first asking all the questions.<br />

Yes, Robert Strange McNamara, <br />

There are those who just cannot forget.<br />

And I wonder, have I lost my own compassion?<br />

<br />

There's just no future left for us to dream of, <br />

Living in an era of instability.<br />

So caught up in the culture of their rivals, <br />

Fear breeds in honest men.<br />

It's a high pressure low.
