MISCHIEF BREW LYRICS

"Liberty Unmasked"

Radio Performance Version

Come see pioneers starving on trout
Meet the drunkards of spirit, of soil, of stout
But old silent fires shall someday bathe all
A cider ferments in us all
Final call!
Hear the prophets whose days have gone dim
And for all royal silver, she still won't wed him
See the bastards, yes among us, they go
All flaunting freedoms so scarcely known

How I see
Merrily
The unmasking of liberty
As she bows to misery
But her open hands, the joy and dance
And this pattern across a great quilt
For ages to span

You're a traveler packing for years
Armor of rage in a shower of tears
And you never could see that you were wild and loose
'Til a baby blue soldier forbid you to choose

Now you cry: off with these systems and off with these laws
Bring on the seasons, traditions and songs
The patterns and cycles, we, hitchers of stars
Shall reel in adventure to shatter these bores
To march from these wars

How I see
Merrily
The unmasking of liberty
As she bows to misery
But her open hands, the joy and dance
And this pattern across a great quilt
For ages to span
