You Get Bigger As You Go - Bruce Cockburn

    so i find out what the luxury of hate is
    as exciting maybe as doing the dishes
    face toward window -- light received
    you walk away to see a film see some
    people see a man
    stab in throat twist in gut all too clear
    not too new -- all been done before
    planet breathes exhaustion
    staggers on
    enemy anger impotent gun grease
    too many thoughts
    too dogshit tired
    one small step for freedom
    from foregone conclusion

    you get bigger as you go
    no one told me -- i just know
    bales of memory like boats in tow
    you get bigger as you go

    you get bigger as you go
    spent all day afraid to talk
    redneck children laugh out loud
    i being target live and walk

    you get bigger as you go
    telephone snarls "don't touch me"
    you move in waves like the midnight blues
    you vector of this weird dis-ease

    you get bigger as you go
    news reruns -- dawn comes rainbow
    pain takes shape of grimy window
    you get bigger as you go
